School and library visits

I’m a Melbourne-based author-illustrator and love visiting primary schools and libraries.

My presentations start with a brief intro, a book reading (full of audience participation) and a Q&A. I show students where I get my inspiration and how I transform ideas into picture books.

Then, it's time for hands-on art activities linked to Busy Beaks or Ingenious Insects. I love seeing students explore their creativity in new ways!

I offer two types of art workshops:

  • Collage workshops are ideal for students in Years 3 and above. Collage is suitable for groups of up to 35 participants per session.

  • Drawing workshops are suitable for all ages and will be tailored to your group.

My sessions are usually 50-60 minutes and I have a two session minimum for all bookings.

I am based in Melbourne and have a current working with children card and full insurance coverage.

Collage workshops

“Sarah and her collage workshops were absolutely fantastic for our school’s Book Week celebrations. She presented such special sessions for our students, they were so engaged both with the storytelling and creative hands-on activity. Sarah was such a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended for any school visit.”
