zIllustrator Showcase with Brenda Clark & Jan Dolby

Tickets: FREE (pre-register online)

Venue: Blue Heron Studio

10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Event Description: In our opinion, the best part of bedtime is cuddling close and sharing an adventure, but what would those storybooks be without the illustrations?

In this event we celebrate the artists behind the artwork as we welcome Brenda Clark and Jan Dolby to Blue Heron Studio. We invite you to bring the whole family to meet the illustrators, explore their art through our studio's gallery and take home your own illustration. Select pieces by the artists will be available for sale.

Be sure to leave some extra time for colouring and story time with our illustrators. For budding artists, Brenda Clark will share a little insight into the illustration world.

Event begins at 10:30 am and story time follows.
