And each answered with their own thought;  ‘the clash of arms and a fair fought fight’ ‘the cry of the curlew in the clear air’ ‘ the cry of a new born babe’ and Finn said ‘these are all good sounds\, but I know that the sweetest music is the music of what is’  \nKamishibai is a Japanese storybox tradition\, where pictures slide in and out of a mini wooden theatre while stories are told to go with them.  Imagine them as the original ‘Ice Cream Vans’\, as they would be attached to bicycles which would travel round the locality. The crowd was attracted using amazingly ear-piercing  hyōshigi or wooden clackers and the kamishibai operator would sell sweets to children before they settled down to watch the show.  \n  \nAbout the artist \nHarriet Grindley  first set her course upon a traditional seven year apprenticeship in Traditional Scottish Storytelling back in 2013 under such mentors as David Campbell\, Linda Williamson\, and the Scottish storytelling centre in Edinburgh. Born in London to Scottish parents\, she returned to her roots studying Mediaeval History at St Andrews and followed a varied career path before finding her tongue as a storyteller.  \nNow she loves to bring the enchantment that comes from one voice holding a gathering in a collective yet individually unique imaginative experience back into everyday community settings.  She often adds songs\, riddles\, music from the clarsach and ukulele\, and sometimes pictures from a Japanese storytelling box (kamishibai).  https://talesoutofthebox.home.blog/  \n\n\nDate & Location\nSunday 7th August\, 3pm – 4pm\,  at Courtshaw Hill \nCourtshaw Hill Viewpoint is located in quite an exposed location with a short but steep climb to the top along a dedicated footpath.   \nPlease wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions on the day\, including suitable footwear for moderate hill climbing and waterproofs in case of rain.

This work has been based in two Scottish communities with a history of textile manufacturing – one on the island of Tiree and the other within the diverse community of craftivists and makers at ReMode in Paisley. For Renfrewshire’s Cycle Arts Festival the research in-progress including prototypes from both sites will be presented as a popup exhibition on the cycle path (location tbc). The artist will also give talks and lead walks where participants will gather and do some creative experimenting\, at hands-on workshops\, with locally grown ‘unlikely’ fibres. The research has been funded by Creative Futures at Glasgow School of Art and the Cloture happening as a part of the Renfrewshire Cycle Arts Festival with the financial support of One Ren.
