Hidden Stories (Isle of Bute)


  • Sealladh Breagha Scotland United Kingdom (map)

Write a short story, journey along a walk, meander through a dream, develop a short thriller or crime story, just bring an idea with you that travels in some way from an A to a B.

Starting from point A, whether that’s your front door, the description of your main character, or a seafront view, or... we’ll include hidden secrets, pop up surprises, layers of intrigue, letters of mystery, building pages with hand made ephemera that take us on a circuitous route for your reader to get to your point B. Will that be the end of your walk? the crime solved? or will you leave them wondering aimlessly on a moor not knowing what to do next?

We’ll be using drawing, collage, layers of transparent papers, patterns, rubber stamps, letters, postcards, napkins, maps and/or pop ups, along with some written words, (whatever works best with your piece and you’d like to use) to create your interactive book. You can include teasers, wrong turnings in your plot or just go underground to find new worlds in your small book with packed pages.

This is a journey to discover your own imagination. Whether you start with a murder mystery plot or a walk around the park, we’ll embroider the stories into exciting hand made artists’ books.
