Hi Everyone,

One of our regular tellers just confirmed that she’s holding a five-session, in-person storytelling workshop at Hugo House. Joanna Demarest has been telling stories and holding workshops for over 30 years, so she has a lot of experience to pull from. 

She’s also the Northwest Folklife Festival’s Storytelling Community Coordinator and was 100% responsible for getting them to do a personal storytelling show this year where you’re going to see some familiar faces performing.

So if you want to learn from one of the most experienced storytellers in the PNW, get yourself to the registration page!

The Art of Oral Storytelling Workshop at Hugo House at 1634 11th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122.  Only 20 spots are available.
