About this Event
Join us at City Library for this VERY special morning, hearing from author Sami Bayly on her Illustrated Childrens Encyclopedia’s, full of weird and wonderful animals with a drawing workshop to follow!
Sami’s newest book, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Extinct Animals, is a stunning collection of hand drawn creatures with everything you need to know about them and why they’ve gone extinct!
All of the materials are supplied for this workshop, and you’ll follow Sami to learn some new skills in drawing and details. We have all of Sami’s books in our collection, so if you’d like to take one home and keep practicing, this workshop will be the perfect starting point!
This is open to all ages, anyone who is interested in drawing, or even people who just looooooove animals and nature! Sami has done in-depth research and can tell you so many facts about the creatures she studies.
