What makes a monster a monster? Create your own with Plenty cover artist and illustrator Katrin Kadelke. 

In this workshop, Katrin will show how she creates watercolour monsters in her cheeky, lively style, and guide participants in dreaming up (and painting) monsters of their own. Come along for a morning of fun and upgrade your creative skills.

This free event is suitable for adults and children over eight. Thank you for your interest, this event is fully booked.

You'll find her cheery illustrations in TV productions, on theatre stages, in books, on merchandise, on packaging and brightening up online applications. Her unique style of watercolour is often described as lively and ‘always with a sense of humour’. 

Katrin’s work with Plenty began with her November 2017 cover illustration The Girl in the Water. Some of her monsters are hiding on Plenty’s May 2019 cover, too.
