Workshop:
Humour and Heart
What’s more important? Does a book have to be one or the other?
Nat talks about how both humour and heart are as vital as each other and digs a little deeper into the ‘worthiness’ of funny books. She’ll explore books that use humour to deliver important and thought-provoking content and how that in itself is an artform. Using her own books, Nat will look at how they can be studied from both the fun AND meaningful angles. And to prove her point, she’ll try her darndest to get a giggle out of you!
