Sharing Yarns with Uncle Ron Bradfield Jr

Come and share your stories with Uncle Ron Bradfield Jr. We all have a story. Sharing them together helps us understand each other, our families, and our lived experiences. Learn together how when OUR stories are shared and told as a community, it can help us all to understand each other and grow together.



Ron has a well-earned reputation in WA as an incredible storyteller, listener and conversation facilitator. These sessions will kick off with a legendary story from Ron before he carefully – and in a supportive way – facilitates members of the public to tell their own story.



Ron Bradfield Jnr is a saltwater man from Bardi Country, north of Broome but grew up in Geraldton, Western Australia. He now calls Whadjuk Boodjar (Perth) his home. As the CYO (Chief Yarning Officer) of Yarns R Us; Ron facilitates cultural conversations across all levels of our communities, helping Australians to revisit and explore their own personal stories – so as to better consider their own connections to this place – their home! Ron is also a storyteller and a maker of things; he has worked in and around the arts across remote, regional and metropolitan Western Australia for 15 years - often supporting the development of artists – as they explore the ways in which they can grow and share their creative practices.
