Artist work at Rook Lane Chapel in Frome by Robin

Last Tuesday Simon and Robin went to Rook Lane Chapel to look at some artwork. Simon took a picture of me with some stained glass wings and then we went in to look at the artwork.

The artist called Julia Osborne told us about the material she used in the paintings. Simon took some pictures of the paintings and Robin talked about the artwork. We talked about marketing artwork and how to buy and sell artwork in galleries and online. Then after lunch in the Black Swan office Robin and Simon tried out some paint ink pencils and pens in a Tate modern art-book and had a really good time drawing Tim from Openstorytellers!    


Robin's comments:  Based on one of my favourite fantasies. Character in the background with animals. Very magical. Piano player at the front 


Robin's comments: Pathway with water, next to it a building or a caravan. Someone had ice cream or mayonnaise and wiped their hands on it - breakfast by the bright sea

On Wednesday Robin and Pete Le Grys went to Bristol to see the M shed to visit Outside In to bring in some artwork, First I showed them my artwork then they showed me how to use the camera to take some pictures of my artwork. Then after I took some pictures I then updated the Outside In web page and put my pictures on and gave them some captions, then I looked at the pictures on the Outside In website and got a new password to access the website page. Then we looked at The story of children's television exhibition and looked at the CBBC and CITV plus the CBEEBIES from 1946 to 2016 A.D and saw Sooty the bear and Blue Peter. We walked across the docks and saw the Tudor Matthew ship from the Bristol boat show.  We had a business dinner at the Zazabazaar and tried lots of exotic food and really enjoyed the day.

Storytelling at the Millfield school taster day by Robin and Tim

Tim telling a story at Millfield School

On the last Saturday of June we took part in an open day for Millfield school led by Mencap and had a storytelling stand. We waited for the first group and no-one came see us do storytelling! because we weren't announced and there were no signs to find the storytelling group. When the second group arrived, we told King of the Goblins, Silly Jack and the Legend of Thor. Then after lunch we told King of the Goblins again! the Sword in the Stone and the watershed Goldilocks and the Three Bears which featured the three bear burgers at Glastonbury festival and the air-rifles of Shepton Mallett shooting grounds! and we had lots of feedback that was very good and gave out loads of membership forms for new members to join our Openstorytellers workshops in the south-west.
