This will be EPIC! With Philippa Tipper

Saturday 18 May / 1-3pm / Free

Bring family photos, toys, favourite clothes, pictures, and a story to a fun session involving storytelling, drama, drawing, jumping around and making noise. Philippa Tipper from 'A Word in Edgeways' will help bring together all the mad stories and ideas into one big Epic Journey celebrating 'Mum and Co'. From family ideas, to storyboard to performance; everything will go in the big creative melting pot...who knows what the result will be?

This Saturday's Mini Makers coincides with Mum's Stories, a chance for Mum's to contribute their favourite images and stories to the growing Story of Mum exhibition. Mum's Stories  for more information

Mum's Stories (captured by Trevor Marshall of Thisismyflim.com)

Saturday 18 May, 1-3pm 

What is your story of becoming a mum? How did you manage that transition from before to after? Did you change?  Transform?  Disappear?  Or re-appear anew?  

Today we are collecting stories and are keen to hear yours.  Select and send 10 digital images to trevor@thisismyflim.com  before the event. You will be allocated a 15 minute time slot for Saturday 18 May, during which Trevor will look to capture your story for you and share it via Story of Mum to a worldwide online community.
