Crankie-making and Storytelling
A 2-weekend course in telling tales and creating crankie boxes
6-7 Feb & 6-7 Mar 2027
With Bronia Evers
I am passionate about how traditional stories - folk tales, fairy tales, myths - are potent conversation starters.
I am inspired by how stories create doorways into shared, supportive spaces where we can talk across difference with the guiding principles of curiosity and compassion;
how the universal, depersonalised language of a story can bring a layer of safety to examining difficult truthes;
and how the bright imagination contained in our traditional tales can provoke inspiring change, new ways of thinking and values-led action.
Start the new year with time for your own creative practice - a long weekend with other creatives to work on whatever you love:
