School Visits, Talks & Workshops

I am available for visits, talks and workshops - both virtually and in person - and for a variety of age groups.


If you're an educator and would like me to speak or hold a workshop at your school, college, library or university, please do get in touch!

I very much enjoy talking to illustration students about the challenges, skills and journey to becoming an illustrator.

For primary school groups, I can offer crafting workshops (paper cutting, puppets, fairy tale characters, etc) and discussions on the children’s picture books that I’ve illustrated (Scissorella, The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, etc) and the life of an illustrator. I particularly love a Q&A session!

You can read more about a previous school visit here or watch an online library event here.
