Celtic folklorist bound for Inishowen 07.11.07

A CHILDREN'S storyteller and folklorist will be in Inishowen later this month for a unique workshop for families. Ruth Marshall who is also a mother and Steiner teacher has been invited by Inishowen Kindergarten for their 'Creating a Happy Childhood' series of family-centred events.

"Ruth has had many experiences in the verbal arts including puppetry and storytelling," said a spokesperson. "She has written the children’s activity book 'Celebrating Irish Festivals', a rich treasury of stories, beautiful illustrations, poems, traditions, food, activities, games, dances and songs." Having celebrated the Celtic festivals for 30 years, the author also facilitates workshops in personal development, creativity and healing for community groups. She herself explained: “I remain passionate about the healing potential of poetry and
and story and the power of the spoken word to effect change in our lives and in the world.” The Creating a Happy Childhood - Storytelling with the Young Child workshop will take place on Saturday, November 17, from 10am to 1pm at Greenbank Hall, Quigley's Point. To book, contact 074 9374557 or 074 9378612. The event is part-funded by Inishowen Partnership.
