In this workshop we will be taking inspiration from the children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo. This wonderful story follows 11 year old Michael - shipwrecked, alone in the Pacific Ocean, he is washed ashore onto a deserted island, but is it really deserted? Exploring themes of survival, nature and unlikely friendships - and using artistic techniques such as dip pen and ink, wax resist, paper aging and collage - we’ll create a pictorial journal of our time in Kensuke’s Kingdom. During this workshop we will read some of the book itself as well as explore our artistic depictions of it.
