For all ages:

Making storysticks, maps, cloths and banners, or masks....

GIANT PUPPETS or CHINESE DRAGONS....

Decorations for tree dressing, well dressing; or green people masks.... All from natural and recycled materials.

Especially for adults:

Explorations of how individually chosen stories inspire craftwork, and how using handcraft informs the storytelling. Week-long courses which include singing and open evening celebrations - a joint venture with Kathleen van der Weerd.

"Taking the story to craft and craft to the story yields lots of new images and impulses. The time it takes allows for reflection and polishing. You notice things that work and don't work, you get all het up about other people's work as well as your own, you laugh a lot and the amount of beautiful work that comes out of it all is astonishing."

We have a mailing list of courses in England and the Netherlands.

Length of workshop 2hrs, but for giants and dragons 4-8 hrs,
(or up to 5 days!)....max no 25....age of participants 5 - adult, families.
