Martina Walther: Wish Workshop—Wild Friday with a Cloud Dress, a Glitter Fish, and a Djinn (ages 5 and up, Lirum Larum Reading Festival)

Illustrator Martina Walther has recreated objects and characters from her picture book *Albertas Wunschladen* using a wide variety of materials—including sequins, cardboard, and even an old pair of tights.
As part of “Wild Friday,” the Swiss artist invites visitors to an open workshop where wishes of all kinds can be whispered, written, painted, and crafted.
