See professional and student illustrators from Plymouth University at work for a total of 24 hours over the course of two days as they originate unique narratives inspired by the collections at the City Museum and Art Gallery. The illustrators will develop their ideas into exciting sequential imagery which will combine to form compelling stories about some of key objects on display in the galleries. Call in for as little or as long as you like between 9am and 9pm to see them at work. This is a great opportunity to witness the process of how an illustration moves from imaginative concept through to final artwork - and a chance to speak to the talented illustrators involved.
