Join librarians Leah & Nicola at Mirfield library for three uplifting sessions exploring words, nature, stories and creativity.
We’ll be using ‘The Lost Words’ by Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris as our theme – an award-winning book of stunning illustrations and haunting poems that celebrate words from nature that have disappeared from the children’s dictionary over the years: heron, ivy, dandelion, wren…
We aim to deliver fun, gentle sessions that support wellbeing and create a supportive environment. We’ll be exploring local nature, producing a piece of artwork and will finish by making our own keepsake poetry booklet.
No experience in poetry/craft/art needed.

".. just finished the final session today and I must say the course was fantastic. Never done any craft stuff like this before, but I've really enjoyed it tremendously. The course itself was expertly run, very hands on, relaxed and easy going, with a very nice atmosphere. In a nutshell the course really opened my mind, helped with my wellbeing, mood and of course had some wonderfully friendly people contact. The venue was superb, it was comfortable and private and well away from any possible library public.."
