Lost for Words Storytelling Adventure

Have you ever been lost for words? Join children’s author Natalie Russell for this fun storytelling adventure. Sharpen your pencils, open your notebook and get ready to explore – find a word, draw a character and bring your story ideas to life!

On Saturday 6th August at 11am, join us for a hunt around the library for lost words. The workshop will take place out of doors in the library grounds, so wear footwear suitable for exploring! In the event of bad weather, it will be held in the schoolroom.

Tickets for this adventure can be booked here. Tickets cost £2, suitable for ages 5 – 11years. Children must be accompanied by an adult (adults go free with child ticket). The workshop will last for one hour.

Since the publication of her first book, ‘Hamish the Highland Cow’ in 2003, Natalie Russell has continued to write and illustrate children’s books whilst teaching within various art institutions such as DCA, Edinburgh College of Art and on the Illustration programme at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.  Natalie has worked on 12 children’s titles with leading international publishing houses including Bloomsbury Children’s Publishing, Macmillan Children’s Books and Compendium Inc. Her work has been published within UK, USA, Japan, China and Korea. Lost for Words (Macmillan) became runner-up in the Scottish Children’s Book Awards 2015.

This storytelling adventure is part of Year of Stories #YS2022 supported by Museums Galleries Scotland, National Lottery Heritage Fund and VisitScotland: more #TalesofScotland coming later this year.
