THE ART OF GRAPHIC NOVELS: AN ILLUSTRATED TALK WITH THE RICKARD SISTERS
11 Horsebridge Road
Whitstable, Kent, CT5 1AF
Scarlett and Sophie Rickard make graphic novels. They’ve been writing and drawing ever since they were children, and now they do it together. Best known for their graphic adaptations of hard-hitting Edwardian political books, from their Eisner-nominated The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists to their most recent book, This Slavery, which was shortlisted this year for the British Book Awards.
Let them take you on an entertaining illustrated tour of their work, covering their process, their inspiration and what it’s like to work with your sister. There will be an opportunity for questions and signing afterwards.
The Horsebridge Gallery is a place where everybody can experience creativity. Everyone is welcome, everyone can take part.
There will be an in-person opportunity to win a full set of four Rickard Sisters tea towels worth £36, in aid of Pilgrim’s Hospice (who run the lovely bookshop next to the gallery)
Tickets for the talk are FREE but booking is essential
