Four Twisted Tales & Other Stories: Hannah Dyson & Jim Pilston


  • The Museum in the Park Stratford Park, Stratford Road Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, GL5 4AF United Kingdom (map)

Jim Pilston and Hannah Dyson are two local artists that have a mutual love of folklore and fairytales. We are fortunate that our local area is rich with strange stories and bizarre folktales that spark the imagination. 

In this collaborative exhibition they have explored legends that exist on our very doorstep, some real, some imagined. Through a mixture of sculpture, poetry and illustration you will meet ‘The Severn Serpent’, ‘Cold-Water Jessie of Amberley’ and ‘The Owlpen Alchelmist’, alongside witches, fairies, giants and a host of other strange critters from our mysterious landscape . 

Jim is a sculptor who uses exclusively recycled materials to create his art. Hannah is an illustrator who likes to write the occasional poem and works with collage and painting.
