Beastly Drawings with Chris Judge – 7-10 yrs x 20 (1.5hrs)

Join us for this exciting workshop where young artists will have the chance to design their very own beasts and monsters with author and illustrator Chris Judge, creator of The Lonely Beast. Participants will delve into the world of the Lonely Beast, as he sets out on an epic journey to find friends around the world. They will then create an exciting poster made up of 6 different panels that tell the story of their very own Beast, which can be taken away to finish-off at home.
