About Festive shadow puppets and stories

About the facilitators
Tessa Asquith-Lamb is an artist and freelance art educator based in East Lothian. She studied Fine Art at Edinburgh College of Art and has exhibited her work throughout the UK. Her creations reflect her love of stories and storytelling, and her trusty sketchbook is central to her creative practice.
Anne Hunter is a storyteller, artist and musician who tells traditional tales and myths from Scotland and around the world as well as stories in and of place. She explores our relationship with both urban and rural environments.
