Full Day Workshop with Ursula Dubosarsky and Margrete Lamond

In collaboration with NERAM, and as a follow-up to our highly successful 2019 program "Stories Connect", the New England Writers’ Centre is delighted to offer a fantastic creative community workshop featuring both writing and art, based round the acclaimed illustrated book Leaf, Stone, Beetle.

Leaf, Stone, Beetle tells a complex story of displacement and new beginnings through the accessible medium of a touching and imaginative fable which speaks both to adults and to children.

Presented by multi-award-winning author and current Australian Children’s Laureate, Ursula Dubosarsky, and publisher, Margrete Lamond, this all-day workshop to be held at NERAM, features discussion, storytelling through metaphor and the creation of new visual and textual narratives by participants, inspired by Leaf, Stone, Beetle. ​At the end of the workshop, participants will have their own 'dummy book' to take away.
​
Note: Margarete is unable to travel to Armidale, however, we'll be making good use of technology so that she can join us throughout the day, and co-present with Ursula, from her home.​
