Winnie the Witch and Korky Paul
Not to be missed! Join illustrator extraordinaire, Korky Paul as he welcomes you to the wonderful world of Winnie the Witch. During his online sessions, Korky will read from selected books whilst accompanied by a slide show. He’ll then begin some live illustration using suggestions sent in from the watching audience. He may draw Winnie the Witch and Wilbur, but depending on what is suggested, they may be in quite unusual situations! Perfect for families with children aged 4-11.
