MAKE YOUR OWN STORY with Juliette Saumande

Teacher’s Feedback, Shauna Jones, 6th Class Teacher
“Our recent comic book art workshop with Juliet was a truly memorable and inspiring session for our 6th class students. Juliet’s approachable and enthusiastic style really spoke to the class, with even the most reluctant students embracing their inner artists and producing great comic books, whilst also enjoying the creative process. All students had great things to say about the workshop upon our return to class and it is definitely an art lesson I will make use of myself in the future.”
Artist Feedback, Juliette Saumande, Arts Facilitator, Children’s Book Writer
“6th Class in Talbot SNS were a very enthusiastic bunch of creatives that took everything I threw at them in their stride. Doodling with the ‘wrong’ parts of our bodies, drawing against the clock and writing without words, all this was new to them but they gave it their all with curiosity and good humour. Thanks for having me and well done, comic makers! :)”
