Layers of Time: Holiday Program

  • Family and kids
  • Workshop

A full-day writing workshop between the pages of history.

Billions of years have layered the epochs of Earth like a lasagna of history! But which is your favourite layer?

Welcome to Layers of time. You'll be digging into the past, both factual and fictional, and piling the dirt into stories of our own shaping. Which elements of history will you draw upon, and how will you wrap your imagination around it all as you create a historical fiction of Jurassic proportions? What kind of characters will you send into the depths of time, and what dangers lurk between the layers? The answers are up to you at Story Studios, where history comes back to life!

For ages 8-12 years.
