How to Make a Children’s Book

4 Saturdays

2 – 4 pm

Ages 16+

Join children’s book artist Giselle Potter, who brings over 30 years of experience and a deep love for storytelling to this engaging How to Make a Children’s Book class. Giselle began her career doing illustrations for The New Yorker and The New York Times before publishing her first children’s book in 1997. Since then, she has illustrated over 30 books.

This hands-on workshop will guide you through the traditional children’s book-making process. Whether you bring your own story idea or work with a classic tale or fairytale, you’ll learn how to create a “dummy” – the pencil sketch layout that brings your story to life – and finish your illustrations using watercolor, gouache, ink, or colored pencil.

Perfect for aspiring authors, illustrators, or anyone with a story to tell, this class offers a unique opportunity to learn from a master of the craft and leave with your own shortened version of a children’s book and the knowledge to make more.
