At this time of year, the veil between worlds is thin, and you never know who, or what, might burst through it ...
This workshop will explore the weird world of cryptids (think Nessie or Bigfoot!), mythic beasts, and creatures of legend, and look at the interplay between their mysterious realms and our own.
Taking inspiration from these fantabulous beings and a range of prompts, you’ll play with the expected and the unexpected. You’ll write some scary stuff before we dial up the whimsy. Laughter banishes fear, after all …
Refreshments provided.
