IN PERSON - Illustrating Persian Folk Tales

This workshop invites children to explore the rich tradition of Iranian storytelling and illustration. Over six sessions, participants will delve into a selection of Persian folk tales—timeless stories filled with wisdom, humor, adventure, and imagination. Each session will center on a different tale, which students will bring to life through sequential illustrations.

Working both individually and collaboratively, children will create visual narratives that capture the themes, moods, and magical elements of each story. At the end of the workshop, all illustrations will be compiled into a handmade, collaborative book. Each child will receive a personal copy—a unique keepsake celebrating their creative and cultural journey.
