Children’s book illustration students’ work on display at Anglia Ruskin University




An exhibition of work from students on the MA course in children’s book illustration at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is on show in the university’s Ruskin Gallery until Friday, 22 March between 10am and 5pm.

Associate Professor Shelley Jackson, course leader, said: “Several of the students have been approached by publishers already, so it’s looking very positive for their future.”

The next step for the students is the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy, which will be held in April. “We’ve been taking the student work there for about 10 years now,” said Prof Jackson.
