Type of Artist:
Storytelling workshops, writing workshops, readings
Totally interactive and inclusive including working for special schools
I work with all ages, in library sessions we get everyone from babies to adults. In schools I work across the key stages from Nursery up to secondary schools and colleges
Up to 60 for a workshop as two form entry schools often have to put two classes together. A recent talk at the Bradford festival was to 800 children and teachers
Between 4/5 depending on time and age. Usually an assembly introduction talk in the morning, followed by two x 1 hour long sessions morning (which could be split into two x 30 min sessions for younger children) then two x 1 hour sessions in the afternoon
Talks and workshops 45-60 minutes, or 30 minutes for younger children

Our daughters enjoyed story time and chatting today. Thank you so much to Smyths Toys and Richard O’Neill. You have a great personality and you’re fantastic at keeping children engaged and interested!
Well worth the journey to Smyths toys Birstall today for a Book Week event. Six hours in a really cool toy shop telling and reading stories. Brilliant!
