We are delighted to announce that guest illustrators Gizem Gözde Uçar and Emma Evans will be joining us this Thursday. Do come along and meet them!
Gizem is an inspiring children’s book author and illustrator based in London, from Istanbul, Turkey, and one of the emerging/established artists featured in the ‘Future Forecasts’ exhibition. Her picture ‘The City of No Sky’ is a story of a future where grown-ups, consumed by daily routines, forget to look up and dream. But one day a girl called Sky sneaks in, and paints the sky blue. The blue overflows, raining down, awakening the adults to dream again.
Emma Evans is an inspiring illustrator and maker of many things, based in Cheltenham. She is also one of the organisers of the annual Cheltenham Illustration Awards (see the ‘Future Forecasts’ exhibition in our art gallery). With a focus on colour and textures, she is drawn to flora and fauna subjects as well as a touch of the surreal in ‘slice of life’ stories.
Come and meet these inspiring artists and join in with creative and fun activities. For families with children aged 5+, suggested donation £1 per child. No need to book, just drop in.
