Creative Writing Ideas

Events of Wonder

We have collaborated with Events of Wonder  who put on live book, author and illustration events across Bath, Bristol and London. The Events of Wonder team are working with the Award Winning Author David J Almond who has devised the first sentence in this story to inspire children and adults, of course! To continue the story  with words, pictures, poetry, in anyway you want – there are NO rules! See the document below, please do print it out and add to it and share it with us, with Events of Wonder and with David J Almond.

Making & Creating Ideas

Artist Jessica Palmer would love you to create your very own home in the #Forestcity! Jessica has been incredibly busy cutting out, sticking, using recycled materials and imaging what a Forest City would look like. We hope to bring this forest city installation to you on 10.10.20 as part of the TedXBath event. Meanwhile, Jess and the rest of us here at Forest would LOVE more contributions to her #ForestCity. If you have made something and would like to share it – please email Jess and let her know jessica.palmer@hotmail.com
