WHAT IS

The beginning of Tales and Trails

TALES and TRAILS
JULY 2011

Ferney Lee Primary School, Todmorden

Ferney Lee Primary School has a wood in its grounds and pathways leading through it. A perfect location for telling storiesl. Working with the school and the Calderdale Youth Offending Team the ShaggyDog Storytellers created a sculpture trail through the woodland. The wicker sculptures of such things as deer and giant hedgehogs were made by the children of Ferney Lee and young people from the youth offending team. On opening day Storyteller Peter Chand led groups of children and adults along the trail, telling them stories as they went.

STORIES in the COMMUNITY

The ShaggyDog Storytellers believe that stories are for everyone. Telling stories at the Stubbing Wharf is just part of what we do. We are also involve in bringing to the wider community, in schools, care homes, parks and events. Anywhere where people gather.

WHAT WILL BE

The ShaggyDog Storytellers are currently planning further projects and workshops and will post details here when these plans are finalised

"Tell me a fact and I'll learn. Tell me a truth and I'll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever."

 

The Shaggy Dog Storytellers provide storytellers for any performance or workshop.
