Author Illustrator School Visits

Hello, I am a published children's picture book writer illustrator based in central London, and am available to give talks and workshops to all ages of primary school children. I am primarily an artist illustrator so my workshops are very illustration based.

I am based in central London, Waterloo so I am happy to travel around this area for day workshops or further afield for longer workshops.

My books are picture books aimed at young children so my workshops are perfect for nursery, reception, and early years children in KS1, however I have also given workshops and talks to KS2 children, adapted to their age, with the idea of creating a picture book for younger children is very popular with this age group too.

My workshops usually comprise of a book reading reading, followed by class discussion and a pooling of ideas. I then draw these up on an easel with the children's ideas and interaction creating some artwork for their classroom and to inspire them to create their own ideas and pictures.

For KS2 children I have given talks and workshops on creating stories, character development, book format, drawing skills, techniques and narrative composition, or I can give power point presentations on creating picture books to larger groups of children.

Workshops can be discussed and organised with teachers.

I speak fluent French so would always be happy to give a presentation in French.

Fees negotiable with me please contact me for day rate: sjarns@me.com

Half day 3 sessions.

Full day 5 sessions.

Rates start from around £400
