Pierre-Jacques and Jules Ober have developed an original story telling device and re-imagining of history through toy figurines placed in miniature sets.
Pierre-Jacques and Jules Ober are a French/Australian creative duo who tell stories with photos of miniature figurines. Their first two books, The Good Son and Jacqueline – a soldier’s daughter have won prizes in Australia and France for their totally original visual style and their ability to entertain and move audiences, young and old.
PJ and Jules will present a workshop in two parts: a projected presentation that gives some historical background to their stories; followed by an insight into the process used for making the books and how drama and emotion can be drawn from little plastic figurines. Finally, the participants are invited to come and try toy photography of a miniature set that has been constructed especially for the day. You can experiment with taking pictures on a phone, digital camera or tablet so please bring yours along.
Suitable for ages 8 and up, families welcome.
This two hour workshop will include a short break. Tea and coffee will be provided.
Tickets $30pp OR $20pp for GRLC Members (free to join) OR $10 for Concession holders.
