Episode Episode 3 - The Artist's Apprentice with Jon Mason
Welcome to Season 4 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages.
We are feeling the Autumn breeze and seeing the leaves become lovely colours. Smelling the smokey, misty air and enjoying all the fruits of the harvest.
This week we are delighted to welcome fantastic guest Teller Jon Mason.
Jon is a Brighton-based storyteller known for his captivating delivery and love of roots: folktales and myths that connect our history and our present, our surroundings and ourselves. He performs regularly at festivals, in schools, online, and his shows have appeared in the Brighton Festival and Fringe. And he has a deep love for North Wales, where he has strong family links, and he knows the village where this story is set very well...! Visit his website HERE.
Our story comes from Italy - a city called Siena in the province of Tuscany.
Hundreds of years ago, some of the greatest artists in the world lived and trained in Italy. You may have heard of some of them. Leonardo Da Vinci, is probably one you have heard of - great name, huh?
This tale is about a young boy learning to be an artist, but also wanting to have fun and be with his friends.
He did grow up to be very famous and his artwork is present in Siena to this day. You can learn more about his great works HERE.
