Online workshop for adults
13 May 2023
Saturday, 13:00 – 17:00

Learn how to display non-fiction information in an engaging way at this online workshop with illustrator Owen Davey. You’ll design a page in a non-fiction book that works on a technical and practical level, but looks great at the same time.

Owen will guide you through the research, preparation, composition and drafting that goes into a successful non-fiction book. While this workshop is focused on non-fiction, it will be full of transferable skills and tools that can be applied to a wide range of illustration projects.
