Create Your Own Mythical Creature Workshop

Unleash imagination and bring fantastical beasts to life!

Join Mia for a playful, hands‑on creative session where children design their very own Cornish mythical creatures — then turn them into a fully illustrated mini‑zine! Inspired by Cornish Folklore and Stories, this workshop invites young creators to dream big, draw boldly, and build worlds of their own.

What will the kids do?

Invent a Mythical Creature

Children will imagine and design unique beasts using prompts and inspiration from Cornish Folklore. From Piskies and Giants to Mermaids and Witches! — the sky’s the limit!

World‑Building & Creature Facts

They’ll explore their creature’s home, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, habits and more, turning their ideas into a fun guide that feels straight out of a fantasy field manual.

Drawing & Collage Techniques

Using a mix of drawing materials and funky patterned papers, kids will create a dynamic visual style for their zine. Mia supports them with gentle 1‑to‑1 guidance as they experiment with textures and shapes.

Create a Mini Zine

All the creature’s designs and details come together in a personalised folded zine — a pocket-sized book they can take home and proudly share.

Why join?

• Encourages imagination, storytelling, and creative thinking
• Builds confidence in both drawing and design
• Combines art, writing, and world‑building for a rich, engaging experience
