Z-arts is delighted to announce our new Resident Storyteller – Jan Blake.

Jan is a world-renowned storyteller, born and based in Manchester and specialising in myths and folk tales from the Caribbean, West Africa, North Africa and beyond. You can find about more about Jan on her website here.

To kick off Jan’s residency we’re hosting two Storytelling Exchanges with Jan in the Z-arts Children’s Library. In these sessions, Jan will bring magic, myths and tales. She’ll also be asking you to bring your own stories from your families too!

This new project started on Tuesday 29 October with Jan’s first session and we’re looking forward to welcoming Jan back at the end of November.
