Testimonials:

  • “My P1 class (aged 6 -7 years) attended Celina‘s Book Cover Designing workshop and absolutely loved it. Celina demonstrated her own work and showed examples of book covers to get the children thinking before they set about creating a title and cover of their own. She suggested a variety of styles and techniques that they could use and she took the time to walk around and speak personally to the children as they worked, lending a helping hand where necessary. She was really encouraging and inspirational. The children had a really fun and relaxing afternoon and they all left with lovely book covers to take home. I would highly recommend this workshop.”
