A Selection of Sophy's Books
Sophy Henn
Type of Artist:
Interactive sessions (always including a draw a long) which can include a mixture of my books (fiction and non fiction) or be series specific if requested.
Lifesize draw along workshop.
Character creation workshop.
Interactive sessions include an introduction to the books we are talking about and a little of my process (presented age appropriately) including character creation, world building and in the case of non fiction - research.
Depending on the books selected we might create a brand new character or measure out a giant squid, there will definitely be a reading and OF course there is a draw along - among many other things.
All my sessions a very interactive, I aim to explode the book out into the room so EVERYONE (even those who haven’t found their book groove yet) gets involved and connects with the book.
