After School Story Session: Thursday 28 February, 16.00 - 17.00; Children were invited to an interactive workshop about the stories of the illustrations displayed, (ages 4-8).
The annual graduation exhibition returned to the Ruskin Gallery after its London showing at the Foyles Bookshop Gallery in London. Around 40 graduates presented their work, a significant proportion of which was already signed up to publishers from around the world.
During the students' final year, the internationally renowned course was shortlisted for a Times Higher Award in the category Excellence and Innovation in the Arts. The course took a stand for the first time at the 2012 Bologna Children's Book Fair and many students and graduates from the course were offered publishing contracts.
Further awards that came the way of students and graduates over the last year include the MacMillan Prize for Children's Picturebook Illustration, The Penguin Design Awards and the shortlist for the Waterstones Children's Picturebook of the Year.
