If you could meet yourself as an adult in the future what would you tell yourself? What advice would you give yourself? What would you tell you not to forget? This is a chance for you to create a message, poem, story or something completely different to the you of the future. You can then work with a bunch of different mediums to create the picture of the postcard that you want to send. We will even give you a stamp so you can send it to yourself.

You will get to work with Northumberland artist and illustrator John Craggs to design your own works of genius. John wants you to bring in a page of your own writing or choose a scene from one of your favourite books and he will help you bring the ideas to life visually in either cartoons or illustration. John will show you the way he works as well has help you come up with your own ideas. The only skill you need is a bit of enthusiasm and a good imagination (and of course a great story also helps).
