As part of the amazing Kent College Arts Week, our incredible colleague Amanda held several workshops in book-making for an extremely talented and imaginative bunch of Year 8 students.

These fun and engaging workshops focused on children’s fiction, using several published books as a source of inspiration for Kent College’s innovative new book-makers.

In the workshops, students got the chance to expand and engage with their creative talents, learning how to develop book themes, how to come up with book titles, and how to design book covers. As well as this, students were able to learn several great practical skills from scratch, such as how to sew book spines, and how to piece together book covers.

Amanda was extremely impressed by how creative and talented the Year 8 pupils were, and hopes that they will continue to use their skills and talents to make more fun and innovative books in the future.
