Wednesday 2nd November, 7 – 9pm, An Lanntair Community room, FREE EVENT
Folklore, fairy stories and tales of the supernatural are some of the oldest, best-loved and re-told stories. In this workshop with Lily Greenall, you will compare styles in which these have been explored and adapted by modern writers and write your own adaptation of a tale of your choice.
It will give you a fresh perspective on the imaginative content of these tales and the culture behind the symbols and figures which appear in them again and again.
You are invited to bring along samples of your own creative work or bring an example of a local or a favourite tale that you wish to share with the group or adapt yourself.
If you are interested in using folklore in your work, or are interested in learning more and are keen to develop your writing technique, this FREE EVENT is for you but booking essential.
