We’re so happy you’re here!
Join a welcoming circle of storytellers and illustrators at the Inky Larks rooftop studio in Rome.
Guided by award-winning authors and illustrators, we’ll explore every stage of picturebook making — from sparking story ideas and sketching roughs, all the way to creating finished illustrations.
We’ll look at character, pacing, plot, and composition — the building blocks of a great picturebook.
Whether you’re developing an existing project or starting something new, you’ll have plenty of time and support all along the way.
Above all, Inky Larks is a fun, playful, and encouraging space to discover new creative directions, find inspiration and connect with wonderful creative friends.
