As a freelance artist, it seems obvious to me to link storytelling with creative crafts - both with children and adults. By expression through colour, modelling clay, felt and other materials or just with fantasy and whatever is to hand our imaginations can run free. During the story workshops the children have developed amazing adventures with imaginary creatures like ice pirates and red whales named "Tomatohead" - the magical products of young fertile minds.

With my support and guidance, in the writing workshops, the participants explore creative approaches to the telling of stories and to their development and interpretation.

My programmes for children are designed to be interactive, and can include various different experiences for the senses so that the children can live the storytelling experience using their whole being.
