touring icon Hansel is on tour! - Hansel is currently touring Shetland's Primary Schools. Ask your teacher when we're coming to you. Check out the tour's photo diary.

Hansel is a not-for-profit cooperative of writers and artists which promotes literary and artistic works relating to Orkney and Shetland. We are as yet fairly new and small. Our projects are aimed at all age groups.

Art-Poetry project Mailboats is a collaboration between eight artists and eight poets from Orkney and Shetland. The poets write the message; the artists devise the 'vessel' to take the message to the world.

Hansel has also launched two new poetry pamphlets, Alias Isobel and Joy o Creation

Inta Shetland is a side-shoot of Hansel Cooperative Press bringing classic tales to Shetland children in their own dialect. The first storybook to be translated is George's Marvellous Medicine (Dodie's Phenomenal Pheesic) by Roald Dahl. Don't tell your granny - she may be shocked!
