Join children’s picture book creator Ronojoy Ghosh for a writing and drawing school holiday activity.

In this hands-on creative workshop children will be inspired by Ronojoy’s engaging drawings and storytelling to unlock their own creativity and believe that anything is possible! Ronojoy will teach the joy of drawing and writing by co-creating a story and characters together, and supporting participants to explore their own fantastic ideas and personal artistic style.

This activity is suitable for children 6 to 10 years of age.

Each ticket costs $15 and is for one child workshop participant. Adult supervision is required, but carers do not need to book a ticket for themselves.

All drawing and writing materials will be supplied.

There are two available sessions to attend on the day:

  • 9 July, 10 am to 11am
  • 9 July, 11am to 12pm

Please make a booking on the National Library website to secure a spot in your preferred time.
