Carol Florence

Within the magic of the story circle many things are at work, reaching deep into the hearts and minds of those present. Weaving together tales from different traditions I create vibrant and engaging sessions and my approach is gentle and open-hearted. I also offer story workshops to develop and deepen the journey into the world of story and I use a colourful repertoire of ways to explore the imagination and encourage self-expression. These workshops can include movement and music, drama and the making of simple books and story objects.

I work with many different groups; with pre-school children;, primary-aged children; with families, and also in special needs settings. I have a deep respect for all who join me in and around the Story Space and we value everyone's contribution. I am continually inspired by the people I meet and delight in the pleasure gained from sharing stories. I hold regular storytelling courses for adults that celebrate the art of storytelling and storymaking.

Welcome to Story Space... a very gentle place... a very magical place. Come and be part of it... Come and explore...

"Carol is a natural storyteller who touches the children at a profound level... She holds the space beautifully."

"Playfulness and magic are the words that just come to mind. You created a magic space with your treasures and cloths and with your welcoming, encouraging and allowing. It was easy to open to creativity and imagination in this environment."
