Here’s a wee quote from one of our 2012 Conference speakers, Jutta Bauer:

“I believe that stories are like vessels. They offer a form, but every reader – no matter whether young or old – fills it anew with their experiences and their individual stories.”

Ties in nicely with the title of this year’s CBI Conference, Weaving a Shared Story, don’t you think?!

Jutta is clearly a like-minded soul, and we can’t wait to welcome her to this year’s conference, all the way from her native Hamburg. A multi-talented illustrator, cartoonist and animator, Jutta has won many awards for her work, including the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration in 2010. She will join us on Saturday 19th May to tell us all about her influences and creative life in what promises to be a fascinating session. Don’t miss it!
