With a lifelong background in drawing, painting, and design, Steven Rolls brings a passion for expressive, accessible creativity to every project. After early years focused on detailed realism, Steven rediscovered art as a freeing, instinctive process, blending traditional techniques like ink drawing with a love of storytelling, nature, and community.
Their work is inspired by the belief that creativity should be open to all, using simple tools, observation, and connection to bring ideas to life. Today, they continue to create and teach in ways that encourage others to explore their own creative paths.
Story Stones: Set Your Imagination Free
In this hands-on workshop, teachers will create their own set of Story Stones—painted or collaged stones used as creative prompts for storytelling, writing, drama, and emotional expression. You'll explore simple techniques, make a classroom-ready resource, and leave with ideas to adapt the project for different age groups, subjects, and learning goals. Whether you're teaching visual art, drama, or language arts, this fun and flexible project can spark imagination in any classroom.
