UCCA is proud to host a series of workshops with three highly acclaimed Belgian illustrators, each with a recently published Chinese-language children’s book. They will separately host three children’s workshops to share their passion for drawing.

In the third workshop of this series, Kaatje Vermeire will teach kids to draw fantastical creatures on thick cardboard. They’ll then use text and image cut-outs to turn the cardboard drawings into wild collages. She is the illustrator of Mare and the Things that Matter.

Kaatje Vermeire(1981) works with materials she finds in flea markets and old bookshops. In her collages, she refashions old and new, strange and familiar objects into unusual but striking images. In 2008, she received a Flemish Book Feather Award for her debut, The Woman and the Little Boy.
