Mortality & Making: Crafting Conversations about Death
SISF Workshop with Beverley Bryant

(Sat 1 Nov: 10:30am)
Join us for a taboo-breaking workshop of storytelling, craft and honest conversation. In a safe, supportive environment, we will explore some traditional death stories then get hands-on, decorating a cardboard coffin and weaving a willow coffin with skilled artisans. This isn’t morbid, it’s liberating!
Tackle fears, share experiences, and reclaim death as part of life’s natural rhythm. Led by storyteller, celebrant and death educator Beverley Bryant, this workshop transforms discomfort into understanding and isolation into community, offering new perspectives on life’s final chapter.

The Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025 tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
