Coral
Tulloch loves visiting schools and can provide
a wide variety of talks and workshops for varying
ages. From creating characters, cartooning and
illustrating from the senses to adopting language
into the visual narrative. She brings with her
roughs, manuscripts, dummies and finished art
and will also use her own materials to demonstrate
techniques. She will provide special Antarctic
talks and some writing/illustrating workshops
covering everything...bringing with her clothes
and creatures, posters, journals, photos, research
and illustration.
