Cruinniú na nÓg dlr 2026: Illustration Workshop: Ashwin Chacko

Workshop

Author Events @dlr LexIcon

This will be an interactive workshop in which participants will create their own Magical Mystical Monster! In this fun and engaging workshop, an award-winning illustrator will show young artists how to create their own unique characters—from first ideas and quick sketches to expressive faces, personalities, and storytelling details. Along the way, participants will discover how small design choices can make a big difference in bringing a character.

No previous drawing experience is needed—just imagination and curiosity!

Join award-winning illustrator Ashwin Chacko for an engaging read and draw-along. After reading one of his books, Ashwin will guide the group through a collaborative creative process to design and develop a unique magical mystical monster character.

Places are limited and will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

This is a part of a series of author/illustrator led workshops taking place in dlr LexIcon. For more information click here.
