Event Description
Stir, Pour, Bake and Serve
A working recipe for a great picture book
No matter your experience level—as a picture book writer or illustrator, you can always benefit from more fresh ideas–the key ingredient for an original picture book. The aim of this one day workshop will be to stir up ideas from a reliable source—childhood memories—and pour some of these into a story structure using some tried and tested techniques. With a bit of play, you’ll cook up a new picture book project, sample it with others, and using Bridget’s guidelines, get it ready to serve up to publishers.

Sorry to miss you Paul. Barnsley Fake sounds like serious competition. I might be tempted myself...No, you can count on me for starters, Katherine and Maureen!

Actually I'm completely messed up with my months, the festival is June 21st and we are 'possibly' camping in Snowden on 21st July but that's not yet a definite so I can change my coming status to maybe (at this moment in time).
