Virtual Workshops
COVID 19 has definitely put a spanner in the works for schools workshops!
BUT you don't have to miss out on the fun! I’ve got a great set up to be able to provide VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS!
That’s right! Why not book a virtual workshop with me.
I’m very versatile and familiar with most platforms
and I can easily adapt to whatever’s easiest for your school.

Book Week, Literacy Festivals,
Art Festivals, Library visits and Incursions are all fantastic times you can book me to visit your school or event!
I'm energetic, fun and love getting your kids engaged!
We draw, we paint, we learn what it is to be an illustrator and how to craft and tell stories visually.
My favourite thing is to show the kids who think they can’t draw is that “yes they can, everyone can!"

Testimonials
‘Bannockburn Primary School students are still excited – and drawing – following a fantastic week of workshops conducted by Sunshine Herbert. We had a terrific week learning how illustrators work. Sunshine shared her inspiration, technique and passion.
Our children were taken through a structured session focussing on sharing ideas, thoughts and feelings through drawing. We had very excited children drawing wonderful ‘monsters’.
