Andrew will supply thousands of pictures and images torn from old books and magazines and you can use these to develop stories by cutting and sticking. Try Andrew’s technique of working on more than one thing at once, be playful, and make your own picture book to take away at the end of the session.

Andrew Lanyon has self-published limited edition letterpress books since 1987, beginning with Deadpan, the first of the Rowley series that still continues. He has also produced larger-run publications and has written highly acclaimed books on his father, the painter Peter Lanyon, and on Alfred Wallis, as well as on other painters, sculptors, writers and poets.

This is one of the events CAST is hosting as part of  Wordplay for Winter – a celebration of the written, spoken and performed word, taking place in Helston from 19 November to 4 December.

Wednesday 25 November 2026 3pm-5pm
