Birgitta Sif Picture Book Retreat

Description

Friday 15th – Wednesday 20th May 2026

Join Birgitta Sif at the Inky Larks studio: we’ll sketch together in the beautiful Roman piazzas and make picturebooks on the roof-top terrace!

You’ll storyboard your picturebook and dig deep into how to:

• structure your plot and develop your characters,
• bring your story to life through text and image,
• illustrate impactful book covers,
• build up and strengthen your storytelling skills.

Birgitta’s passion and generosity make her an exceptionally inspiring tutor, who draws on her on own creative practice, but also on her collaborations with authors, illustrators and publishers across the globe, and on her teaching at the famous MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.

“Birgitta’s sessions were fun, thoughtful and inspiring, and she really helped to nurture a memorable sense of community within the group. ”  – Sue
