Make a book workshop with Dolores Keaveney
Barrack Yard BanagherDuring the workshop each child will make their own little book. It would be a picture book with words and images with about 8/10 pages. Suitable for Children over 7 and families Booking is essential. Cost: €5.00pp (to be paid on the day) About Dolores I am a self-published author/illustrator of children’s picture books. I am an artist and have been painting for the best part of 40 years and have had many exhibitions. My art is vibrant, colourful, loose, and uplifting. I get my inspiration from my garden when in the summertime it is packed full of beautiful flowers. I decided to self-publish because I had read up and researched a lot about self-publishing over the previous year and I felt it was a route that I would like to take as it was a challenging way to go about publishing a book. I realised from the start that it would be a daunting journey but I felt I still wanted to go this route. In 2009 I launched my first picture book ‘If I were a bee’… This book was a great success for me and spurred me on to write and illustrate more.
