Saturday 25 May 3.30-4.30pm
Join us for a meaningful art workshop and book reading with Author and Illustrator of Little Pago, Lauren Briggs. The children will bring to life their very own turtle habitat using recycled items that can be found around the home. We all know that education is the precursor to change. Together, let’s turn the tide on Australian sea turtle extinction and plastic pollution by providing children with a meaningful and valuable narrative to live a life with purpose. This workshop is suitable for kids aged 4 and above.
Ticket is for a family with 1-3 children. It includes their attendance and materials at the workshop, a copy of the book Pago and a copy of the postcard colouring booklet.
About the Author
As a young child, Lauren grew up with a love of animals, nature, reading and storytelling. Her early years were spent climbing trees with her two sisters and using their collective imaginations to create wonderful games to play outside. Living in Australia provided an exciting landscape for Lauren to develop her skills in the visual arts. She received a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communications from UTS with a specialisation in graphic design, illustration and photography. During this four-year degree she was selected to study at St Martins College of Art and Design in London. It was here that she was first introduced to the art of etching and printmaking. Following her studies, Lauren worked in design and photography in London, and started her own freelance design business in Sydney. Lauren’s passion for stories and children’s picture books propelled her to create her first published children’s picture book, Stories for Simon. Lauren is an advocate for literacy, Indigenous education and the environment, which sees her working as a volunteer in these areas of the Australian community.
About the Book
Little Pago is an energetic and playful baby loggerhead turtle living in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Against a magical background of coral flowers and seaweed gardens, Little Pago and his friends set out on an adventurous journey in search for food. However, not everything floating in the ocean is safe for a baby turtle to eat. A balloon, straw and plastic bag are easily mistaken for some of Little Pago‘s favourite food.
