Picture Books to Play With
​COURSE FULL
Tuesday 19 April 10-12pm

Tutor: Rose Feather

Free, two hour creative writing and book making session for adults, focused on making stories that children will love.

We will explore what makes a story come to life, before creating our own stories through simple book-making and zine-making techniques. Rose will also share how to embed speech and language development opportunities through creative book-sharing ideas.

Perfect for parents, carers, grandparents, aunties, uncles or friends to little ones who are 5 and under. This session would also be useful for people who work with under 5s.
This course works as a one-of session, or could be used as a taster session for the free, 5 week course on developing your stories into professionally printed picture books.

A free, five-week course in creative writing and illustration for adults, working towards creating a

Mindful Paper Making
​
Monday 23rd May 2022, 2-4.30pm

​Tutor: Rachel Burchell
 
A chance to take some time out and make room for a little self-care with this mindful paper making workshop. 
 
We’ll start with a saunter and stroll around the locality gathering items and inspiration for our paper making; then settle down to create unique paper using natural and leftover materials.  Finally, we’ll make an accordion-fold book with pockets to hold our paper for when it’s dried.
