Anyone going to Bologna Children’s book fair next week? ❤️ I am going with other Finnish illustrators ❤️ I’ve never been before so any tips much appreciated! I didn’t manage to book any workshop, they sold out so fast 😌 But very excited to see so many books and illustrators from all over the world

Yesterday was pottery day 😍 A way of decorating with brushed underglazes and pencils worked really well (with the oranges) but unfortunately the bowl cracked. But then a seashell tray (made with a mold came out beautifully and the glazing worked so well ❤️ I get more and more into it each time 😍❤️
