Crafting history

October 2015 is 'History is a story' month at the Library.

We have adopted the theme (thanks Jackie French for the idea) to publicise History Week, by undertaking a number of activities throughout the entire month.

The first activity will be "Crafting your book" using bits n' pieces, scrap, memory objects, etc to create a unique look for your book, journal or album. 
This will be a chance for everyone to think up the perfect cover/holder to showcase your creation, and to get ideas to portray your theme and individualise your project.

The session will be conducted by Christine Gerdtz who has a whole portfolio of crafty items she has created.
"Crafting your book" will be held in the Horsham Library on Thursday 8th October at 1:30pm. Bookings are essential and can be made at the Library.

"Crafting your book" will also be an introduction to the following session "Crafting your story".
"Crafting your story" is about finding sources and inspiration to write your story, journal or book. How to construct the elements of a personable story.

Or if you are uncomfortable actually authoring a story, you may wish to tell a story in pictures, photographs or anecdotes. This is the chance to get ideas on different styles of story creation - maybe your story is a house history or a recipe book?

"Crafting your story" will be held in the Horsham Library on Thursday 15th October at 1:30pm. Bookings are essential and can be made at the Library.
