Portfolio Breakfast with Wonderbly

Wonderbly is delighted to host a morning of portfolio consultations in their London office. Art Director Paul Coomey, Illustrator Adam Hancher, and Book Designers Michelle Mac and Lucy Ufton will give expert advice in areas including children’s publishing, surface pattern design and editorial.

Your portfolio will be shared in a supportive, intimate, and collaborative environment. Not only will you be able to discuss how to develop your portfolio in your specific area of interest, but you will also be able to chat to others over coffee and breakfast!

Please note: This event is first come first serve, but please only book a place if you can commit to attending the session physically and have clear interest and potential in developing your work in the areas specified above. This event will be delivered physically, face to face only.
