Children's Book Creation and Illustration

Children's Book Creation and Illustration

We are hugely fortunate to have a course run by the award-winning children’s book writer and illustrator, James Mayhew and our very own Andrew Watson, book designer and Art Director.

This course aims to help emerging illustrators, artists and writers to work together to create exciting and stimulating ideas for children’s illustrated books.

We will be using the folklore, history and culture of Andalucia as the inspiration behind the development of our stories.

Itinerary

This course aims to guide and inspire authors and illustrators who want to create a Children's Book. The course will cover topics such as how to get started, practicalities of picture book construction, workshop discussions about writing for children, trends and popular misconceptions about the publishing industry. James and Andrew will also be giving portfolio reviews. We will be taking excursions around the local area, discovering myths and legends with the aim of inspiring your creativity and setting you on your way to creating your own children's book. The course will culminate in a small exhibition and presentation of the works.
