Celebrating Irish Children’s Books | Online School and Family Book Festival. This year we are part of the Dublin Book Festival.

PROGRAMME SCHEDULE

Supported by the Arts Council of Ireland - Literature

[FINISHED] 11am | Have You Seen The Dublin Vampire? Live Story and Art Workshop with Úna Woods

November 21, 2020 11:00 am
Cost: €5 per family
Until 11:40 am
AGE 4 TO 6

Note: This event is from a previous year.
Please visit this year’s festival programme for the latest 2021 events.

Get ready to make an amazing picture inspired by the Dublin Vampire! Úna will share her wonderful new book, and then show you how to create a Spooktacular mixed-media collage using simple shapes, bright colours and crazy patterns. Using materials you find at home, Úna will talk you through the process, step by step. Great fun for all the family!

Have scissors, coloured paper (if possible), white paper and markers or colouring pencils at the ready. Oh, and old wrapping paper, old birthday or other cards, colourful pages from magazines or newspapers will all be brilliant – raid your recycling bin! Then why not photograph your children’s artwork and send it to the Wonderfest team? We’d love to share it in our online gallery, and on social media!

A live, interactive workshop, delivered digitally.

And my favourite #picturebook this year is the amazing #BeWildLittleOne by Irish author @Hopewrites and illuminated by the marvellous art of @DanielEgneus. It's a definite #IrishBooks recommendation for #BookElves2022. A perfect gift for little readers - and not-so-little ones! https://t.co/1zjERJ3FRO
