ANIMATION, storytelling and drawing workshops will be held this month thanks to a £1,000 grant made to Swindon Council's Artscape project.

The money, which comes from Engage, a national organisation promoting educational work in museums and galleries, will be spent on two different projects.

Storyteller Roger Day will bring Aesop's Fables alive for 80 primary schoolchildren at the Arts Centre during May.

The second project will enable 12 teenagers to take part in a workshop based on an exhibition of prints in the West Swindon Library which were inspired by the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
