Session Details
My workshops entail a reading of one of my books and a creative activity writing/drawing/roleplay based on some of the themes from the stories – eg relationships, inventions, ‘big and small’, play. These sessions can be tailored to fit a 30-minute or a 1hour slot.
For 2nd class up I offer a 1hour workshop that outlines how picturebooks are made - from getting an idea, through the illustration process and some of the (basic) technical aspects. These workshops also feature a reading of my first book 'Bí ag Spraoi Liom!' and a writing/drawing task based on the theme of inventions. By the end of the session the children should have a good concept of how to construct a book of their own and an idea to use for it!
All workshops can be fully 'as Gaeilge' or bilingual - whichever you feel suits best.
Age Group Details
For creative writing sessions, 2nd class up are best equipped, but I am happy to work with any age group.
