Monochrome Mazed is the community illustration project which illustrated ‘Cornish Folk Tales of Place’ in 2018. Professional artists worked in three Cornish schools, two libraries and a community center. Children and members of the community illustrated the tales, using manga, pen and ink, print and silhouettes. Exciting illustrations emerged.
