We’ve delivered 23 workshops and events for 124 children across 18 Norfolk Libraries, and a one-day Fantasy Festival funded by Friends of Gorleston Library.
Fantasy Workshops for Norfolk Libraries 2024 - 2025
47 children aged 8-11 and 7 parents and caregivers joined us for 10 fantasy drawing and worldbuilding workshops across Norfolk, commissioned by Norfolk libraries.
Participants designed, drew and wrote about their own fantasy greenhouses, and used our illustrated activity sheet, example and sticker sheet for inspiration and ideas. We also created zines about the plants, potions and stories in their greenhouses.
The workshops were created to compliment the Summer Reading Challenge 2025 theme: Story Garden
“Absolutely fantastic - engaging and a great combination of drawing and imagination. We both really enjoyed the session - thank you so much!”
Fantasy Festival at Gorleston Libraryz
25 children and 7 parents and caregivers joined us for a drop-in fantasy worldbuilding workshop. Participants chose one of our illustrated fantasy drawing Quests to try: Adventurer character design, mapmaking or gryphon creature design.
The festival and workshop was kindly funded by the Friends of Gorleston Library
Summer Reading Challenge, 2024
We ran 12 fantasy worldbuilding workshops across 12 libraries in Norfolk, for the Summer Reading Challenge: Marvellous Makers.
52 children enjoyed fantasy mapmaking and fantasy creature design. We illustrated and designed activity sheets to help with the session, and to encourage more drawing at home.
“Such a good workshop. Would recommend to anyone. Fully inclusive for my children, one of whom has dyslexia and the other with suspected ADHD.”
Commissioned by Norfolk Libraries for their Summer Reading Challenge programme of events.
