Shadow Lands
For children aged 4 years or older (with adult assistance)
Friday 20 Feb 13.00
Seminar Room​
​
Make some shadow puppets and use them to tell a story.
In this session, we’ll provide the screen, light and card – you provide the imagination, the drawings, the cutting skills and the hands to hold the puppets.
This will be an ideal session for families to create a tiny tale together, or for two or three friends to collaborate – it could be based on a tale you know or be a completely new tiny tale.
​
Sue has been telling tales for hundreds of years (Well, that’s a tall tale if ever there was one!)
She lives on the Isle of Wight and has told tales on the tops of hills, sandblasted by beach debris, under swaying trees and in many other strange (and not so strange) places.
She has helped countless children create their own stories and is one of the organisers of the IW Story Festival.
She loves passing on the story gems that have come her way, intent on keeping alive the oral tradition. Folk tales, nursery tales, tales of wonder and tales to inspire or scare you – she will share them all. Just make sure you pass them on too.
