A Playful Workshop with Dr Fun to Capture Your Favourite Things for Tomorrow’s Eyes.

Date: Wednesday, August 20th, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM 3:00 PM
Location: The Museum in the Park

Step into a world of imagination with Dr Fun (aka Tracy Spiers, PhD) and create your very own illustrated time box—filled with personal treasures, memories, and messages for the future. In this playful, hands-on workshop, you’ll capture your favourite foods, adventures, books, dreams, and more through drawing and visual storytelling. Whether it’s a letter to future friends or a glimpse of your life today, your time box will become a one-of-a-kind keepsake for tomorrow. Come ready to draw, dream, and travel through time—no passport required!
Tracy Spiers is a Stroud-based writer and illustrator who brings stories to life through a vibrant mix of words and images. With a PhD in Art and Design, specialising in playfulness, Tracy’s work is rooted in a deep love of storytelling, curiosity, and connection. A mother of five delightful daughters, Tracy is often found running and exploring the fabulous wildlife of the Five Valleys. She has a special fondness for the Museum in the Park, not least because her mum, Jan, spent her childhood living in the mansion house.

A family workshop for all ages, ideal for 5+.
