Discover a wealth of dragons from around the world in this fun family workshop.
Enjoy dragon stories and get creative with author Theresa Breslin and illustrator Kate Leiper.
We'll begin with some dragon stories read by Theresa from 'An Illustrated Treasury of Dragon Tales', to get our imaginations firing. Kate will then share some of her hot tips on dragon drawing. You can then have fun creating your very own one. Whether your dragon is a ferocious, fire-breathing beast or a masterfully mischievous monster, ignite your imagination and get ready to roar!
All materials will be provided.
This session is suitable for families with children aged 6 and over. All children must be accompanied during the event.
