Folk Tales To Web Tales

February 6 @ 10:00 - 13:00

Travel through the myth and magic of West Penwith in a writing workshop with storyteller Sue Field and writer Anna Chorlton from Cornish folktale project, Mazed.

Once tales were told by the fireside, then read from books, now we often search for stories in digital form. Mazed is expanding its website collection of folktales to cover all Kernow, and they need some West Cornish tales, told by people that live in West Cornwall.

In this FREE workshop you will write your own original version of a traditional local tale, and become immersed in the places of piskies, witches, devils, dragons, and giants. Web tales written in the class may be published on the Mazed website.

The event is part of National Storytelling Week (1st – 9th February) and is suitable for all writing abilities and folklore enthusiasts.

Bring your usual writing tools: notebook, pens, pencils, or a computer, and prepare to be a Mazed!

WHERE: The Morrab Library, Morrab Gardens, Penzance, TR18 4DA
