Book Tales: Storytelling Between Text and Object

Time: 13:30 - 16:30

Be inspired by old books and create your own!
In this drop-in free creative event at The Mitchell, Glasgow, we will bring some examples for you to explore, and then you will create your very own book, using craft materials, images taken from old books (though not the originals!), and new and recycled decoration.
Every book will be absolutely unique, as you get to choose how big or small your book should be, how to make it special, and how you want it to be used in future.
This event is suitable for families and children aged 8-12. Parents are welcome to join in the fun!
This Make Your Own Book! event is part of Book Tales: Storytelling Between Text and Object series and the Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 6 - 15 November 2025.
