All around the world winter is a time people are drawn to celebrate light...

Candle light, firelight, lights that twinkle with electricity and the light of the love we hold in our hearts.

In November we are sharing an adaptation of the folk tale Stone Soup and blending it with an original Live Paint story called Gratitude Stew. In our tale we meet a kind woman that travels the earth reminding people the importance of sharing and being kind. Participants will be invited to reflect on what they are grateful for, adding their “gratitudes” to the pot as we pretend to make a virtual stew together!

Join us for a “Not so Spooky” way to celebrate October as we tell an adaption of the beloved children’s story, Miss Fiona’s Stupendous Pumpkin Pies!

At the end of our event participants will be introduced to a stupendous pumpkin pie recipe to make at home and invited to share their creations on our Live Paint facebook page!

Who says spiders are scary? In this October event we will share an adaptation of the children’s story, Sophies Masterpiece. In our tale we meet a spider who goes on a grand adventure and uses her talents to create a very special gift for a very special person!  At the end of our event audience members will be invited to create a spider craft using simple supplies you have at home or in the classroom!

Winter Tales To Share Out Loud

Join the Black Diamond Hometown Christmas Celebration as the Black Diamond Library and Live Paint celebrate the season through the sharing of cultural folktales. Our stories will be derived from the Celtic, Russian and Scandinavian traditions and will take us deep into the forest as we explore concepts of winter and light. Participants will create a craft based on a traditional Scandinavian snowflake pattern that is perfect for gift giving! Happy Winter! Happy Light!

This Live Paint event is sponsored by the Black Diamond/KCLS Library System!

For adults.

Come for an afternoon around a pretend fire, sipping tea froma vintage teacup as we listen to each other’s stories. You may choose to listen or share.
If you’re interested, a professional storyteller and actress will help you cultivate your own personal story and craft it into a story to share out loud!
