This workshop will provide an introduction to the principles of illustration. Mairi Hedderwick will demonstrate her particular methods and examples of other illustrator’s style and interpretation. Participants will gain the opportunity to discuss and experiment with materials and techniques. Please bring a piece of writing that you would like to illustrate: a poem, short story, favourite novel  or something you have written yourself. You’ll then have the chance to experiment with rough layouts before working towards final art.

Basic materials are provided ie paper/pencils/rubbers/ pens/ felt tips/watercolour/ poster paint. Participants can also bring their own particular favourite materials.

Mairi Hedderwick illustrates her own travel books and the series of children’s books featuring Katie Morag. Her books include Shetland Rambles, Eye on the Hebrides, Sea Change, and A Highland Journey. She also illustrates calendars, diaries and other stationary items. Born in Gourock, she has since made her home in the Isle of Coll, Inverness, Fort William, the Isle of Coll, the Black Isle, the Isle of Coll again, and presently lives near Inverness.

Free to all Highland residents aged 12 -25.
