Discover your inner artist, or your inner child, and create beautiful illustrations to accompany your own writing, with illustrator Sami Bayly, known for her stunningly detailed children’s books, including the Illustrated Encyclopaedia series.
With a Bachelor of Natural History Illustration, Sami enjoys painting realistic flora and fauna, skills she’ll share with participants in this hands-on workshop. Along the way, you’ll hear incredible stories from Sami’s research of the natural world, and maybe even learn an interesting fact or two about animals.
Bring a piece of nature writing along, poetic or scientific, your own work or a piece of writing you’ve found and loved, then be guided by Sami as you draw illustrations to accompany the text.
