Ireland Reads: Designing Your Own Characters with Margaret Suggs

Characters can be so much fun to design! In this hands-on creative workshop, we’ll look at a few familiar characters and find out what makes them work. Then based on Mags’ new book, The Moth and The Moon, we’ll design our own moons (which are a good warm-up) and then moths (which are a bit more complicated).

Margaret Anne Suggs is a Director for Illustrators Ireland and Administrator of the Silent Book Collection for IBBY Ireland. She served as the Chairperson for the International Jury at the 2023 Bratislava Illustration Biennial. Mags has two picture books releasing this spring – The Dandelion’s Tale (Graffeg) and The Moth and The Moon (Beehive). She can usually be found scribbling in a sketchbook.
