Dav Pilkey Inspired: Comics and Character Design
Visual Storytelling, Comics and Character Design at The Cardboard Castle on April 15, 2024
Dive into the thrilling world of comics and character design at The Cardboard Castle. My one-day programme is a doorway for young artists aged 6-12 to the imaginative realms of contemporary visual storytelling, featuring the art of Dav Pilkey (Dogman, Captain Underpants) and other beloved storytellers, known for captivating the hearts of young readers worldwide. With space limited to just 8 children, I offer a personalized and focused experience.
