Discover Centre

This month my flatmate and I went to visit our uni buddy who works at an amazing place called the Discover Children's story centre. It's so wonderful and I wish it was around when I was a little girl! Just check out the pictures!

As well as a brilliant Lauren Child (illustrator/author of "Charlie and Lola") exhibit there were some workshops with illustrators and children's book authors.

We had a chance to check out Ed Vere's workshop and Axel Scheffler's workshop. Ed Vere read from his book "Mr Big" and then taught us how to draw his character Mr Big. I drew Yellow Panda in my version.

 Both children and parents seem to be having fun and it very inspiring to see another illustrator at work. Makes me pine for the days on my uni course when we did children's book illustration...
