Covid Life Book - 20 September 2021
Stockport Storytellers have collaborated with Amanda Beck-McKim, an artist from Chorlton, Manchester. Through a Crowdfunding project, she has produced a book of her pictures illustrating life during lockdown. She put out a call for writers to submit poems or short stories, based on her pictures. Stockport Storytellers rose to the challenge and submitted some which she has used. Sales from her book are being donated to Arts for Recovery in the Community, based at the Hat Works.
There will be an exhibition by ARC, including some of Amanda's pictures and Stockport Storytellers poems at Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery from 1.00 p.m. on 24th September, so why not call in? Amanda will be there to personally sign your copy of her book for you.
