Live Painting Session with Felicita Sala

Join us in the Paper Bird Gallery to watch a live painting demonstration from Felicita Sala, who is visiting us all the way from Italy!

Felicita's books include Your Holiday Was the BEST!, If You Run Out of Words, Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street, When You Find the Right Rock, My Dog and I (& more) and two new titles too; A Lost Cause and Bored. These stories are long-held favourites of ours and we're so pleased to be hosting Felicita for an insight into her process. Felicita will speak about her work and answer questions while creating an illustration for us based on her latest work.
