This is a past event
A warm welcome to all current and NEW students from the team at University Collections! We have a fantastic activity for you ...
If you are visiting the Sir Duncan Rice Library, we are inviting new and existing students to colour-in a section of a sea monster!
Two sea monster designs created by Johanna Basford the bestselling illustrator, author and pioneer of the adult colouring book trend, as part of the Book Week Scotland event back in November 2024, have been added to the Gallery entrance and we want you to help colour them in!
Johanna led the mass colouring-in of the giant Icelandia map taken from the Ortelius atlas which is currently on display in the "Imagined Norths" exhibition. She took inspiration from the sea monsters that are shown swimming in the seas of the maps that date back to 1592 to create her own versions.
A big thank you to Johanna Basford and the Scottish Book Trust for their contribution and support of this University Collections event.
