A Little Birdy Told Me… Family Collage Workshops
Look out! Stories are nesting!
At Leeds Libraries, something curious has appeared. Tucked away on shelves and corners, story bird boxes have begun to nest. Each box holds a tiny world inside, filled with pictures, clues, and hints of a story waiting to be discovered.
Have a peep inside a box and let your imagination take flight. Then join our family friendly collage workshop with artist Emma Jones, where you can cut, stick, draw and build a story inspired by what you can see. Create characters, scenes or tiny moments from a tale, add a small piece to a shared community bird box and help build a story together.
Workshops will be taking place at:
Boston Spa Library- 17th February 10.30-11.30am
Oakwood Library- 17th February 2-3pm
Morley Community Hub and Library- 18th February 10.30-11.30am
