Some lovely photos from my visit to HANDSS last week! After the story, we all had a go working with clay to make some pots – as you can see, there are some great artists amongst this lot!

A Story and a Craft at HANDSS
My Wee Imp and I joined our friends at HANDSS yesterday evening for a story and a craft!
I told the tale of an Armenian woman (a total hero who is a teacher and a weaver) who refuses to marry a prince unless he “gets a real job” – he becomes a weaver and that ends up saving his life. The story was followed up by a wee bit of simple weaving.
Here are some photos courtesy of HANDSS.
Upcoming Events
After a few days recovering from coughs and sneezes, I’m catching up with my upcoming events!
Here’s one I’m looking forward to – on the 5th March I’ll be joining the stallholders at the Witches’ Market which will runs from 11am to 3pm and is held upstairs at the Holburn Bar (junction of Holburn Street and Great Southern Road).
I’ll be telling stories between 1pm and 2pm and (like the market!) all are welcome. Stories will be suitable for all ages (2 to 102. If you’re over 102, you can tell us a story!) and the theme will be “Unexpected Heroes”
Either side of my storytelling, I’m looking forward to having a look at all the beautiful, shiny and handcrafted things on sale!
Hope to see you there!
