Bow Families: creating your storybook using camera instant print with Katka Krajči
Sunday 28th September 2025 , 11:00am to 1:00pm
Join artist Katka Krajči for a playful storytelling workshop where you become the hero of your own book! Using a special kids’ thermal camera, we’ll take instant black-and-white photos of each other and transform them into imaginative story characters. Open to children and families of all ages – all materials provided.
Together we’ll invent adventures where people and everyday objects from the room and courtyard at Bow Arts come to life with emotions and personalities. Through drawing, collage, and optional pop-up elements, each child (and their accompanying adult, if they wish!) will create their very own storybook to take home.
In this workshop, children will learn about using instant camera and a range of drawing and collage making techniques. Children will leave with their own story book — and the confidence to see art in everything around them!
This event is an inclusive, friendly environment which is accessible to all abilities and age groups.
Bow Families is a series of free, drop-in family art workshops that take place on the last Sunday of every month in the Bow Arts Courtyard Room. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity for local families to get creative and try something new! Each session is led by a Bow Arts’ Artist and all materials are provided.
