We had a fantastic time learning all about paper engineering and pop up book making with author and illustrator John O’Leary at #ElthamLibrary last week! Inspired by the Summer Reading Challenge #StoryGarden, there was lots of garden themed illustrations 🕷️ Thank you John!
I’ll be delivering a paper engineering masterclass to children and their families at the Southgate Children’s Literature Festival on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 12:15 p.m. St.Andrew's Church, Southgate Chase side.
