Selection of work arising from workshops in Junior Schools and Libraries
Over the past few years we've developed an approach to story-based work with young people which consists of :
1. Using traditional material, told in an immediate, contemporary style, as stimulus to help
2. Children to create and illustrate their own stories
3. Refine the stories and develop the language, and then
4. Photograph or scan their artwork, transcribe their stories and put them together into professionally
designed publications.
The examples shown below were created during A Word in Edgeways projects.
