Join picture book illustrator and artist Ben Clifford for a creative morning exploring the art of illustration. Start new drawings or bring works in progress and gain insights from Ben’s experience. Children are encouraged to bring a picture prompt. Scribbles, notes and rough sketches that go into the making of a book will be on display.

About Ben Clifford

Ben held his first painting exhibition in 2019, supported by Clarence Arts and Events. He continues to live and work in Tasmania.
