The Make Art That Sells Team spent a wonderful week in Brighton, England, filming for the new ‘Illustrating Children’s Books‘ ecourse which starts 3 October, 2016.

Registration opens Tuesday 12 July (we already have a massive waiting list so get on it here if you are interested!) As this class is in high demand, we will be capping registration numbers for the first session.

In this class, top art agent Lilla Rogers and highly regarded children’s book art director Zoe Tucker provide everything you need to launch your children’s book illustration career or bring it to the next level.

Lilla says: “We’ve created a course that breaks down the process into totally manageable chunks so that you can focus on having fun creating your very best work. I know you’ll be surprised at how much progress you make over the course of the 5 weeks. I’ve seen it over and over in my courses”.

Meanwhile, MATS team members Reine Sloan and Louise Gale work from the friendly & hip coffee shop downstairs. This is where the ‘10 tips for being in Instagram‘ post was written.

We also took time to get outside and visit the vintage market after a day of filming.

And that’s a wrap! We hope you will join us!
