Bruce Ingman: Making Pictures for Picture Books
Sorry, this event has sold out
Bring all the family along to discover how award-winning illustrator Bruce Ingman plans and plots his illustrations for his collaborations with the author Allan Ahlberg.
Described by Sir Quentin Blake as ‘an unexpected talent that mixes innocence and sophistication . . . in something that’s distinctly his own’, Ingman has collaborated with the legendary Ahlberg for over 20 years producing bestselling titles including, The Pencil, The Runaway Dinner and this year’s long-awaited sequel, Under the Table.
He has co-written a book on Dick Bruna, the creator of the iconic rabbit, Miffy, for the celebrated series, ‘The Illustrators’, and is Head of the MA in Children’s Literature: Children’s Book Illustration at Goldsmiths, University of London. He will be joined on stage by Walker Books’ designer Daniel Devlin for a Q&A session.
