Not so new any more now of course, being from spring summer 2011. But we leave it here as several links have been created to this page and we don't want to break them.
Welcome to our once new pilot venture.
You can request sessions for your group or party
and negotiate fees with Ramona
Story-scape Sessions are held within the Penicuik library on alternate Friday afternoon's - check blog for future dates.

| Sharing skills: crafting in the community |
Story-scape Sessions naturally emerged from the community-based project Making Space Penicuik; this is where people of all ages and abilities come together to share space, dialogue and skills, whilst crafting felted figures, creatures and landscapes, through the use of different crafting processes.
There is a core group of around ten creators and crafters, with many local people and visitors dropping in when they can too. And we are Making Space for more - so DO come along!

| Landscape set for Little Red Riding Hood |
And so Story-scape Sessions was formed!
Launch
Little Red Riding Hood (Annaruth) and the Magic Porridge Pot (Ramona) were the main stories told at the launch. The children discovered the joy of interactive storytelling and re-enacted the tale of Little Red Riding Hood with great enthusiasm.

| Getting hands-on: re-telling the story |
Meanwhile, the younger children each selected an item from the marvellous creature basket (in keeping with Little Red Riding Hood's basket). Each were encouraged to share their ideas and inter-relate their piece and weave it into the storyline.

The third Story-scape Session, on June 3rd, featured The Owl and the Pussycat (Ramona) and an adapted version of Dzvinka Hayda's Little Angel's Journey (Annaruth), with two coordinating sing-along-songs (guitar and recorders -guest recorder player, teenager Ashley).
