Join Paul Howard, the illustrator of Jill Tomlinson’s classic, ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark’, on a special tour of the MAC!
Together, we’ll explore the building’s exhibitions and collect fun ideas to make a brand-new story, using some of the characters and objects you’ve discovered along the way.
With simple linking sentences and bright, lively pictures across the pages, Paul will help get our story started. On the final page, it’s your turn - the words you choose and the pictures you draw will decide how the story ends!
Parents, you'll not stay for this workshop, so why not grab a coffee in our CaféBar or take a wander around our galleries!
