About

Delve into the relationship between writing and yourself using your personal experiences to create literary works of art.

This creative writing workshops will address the relationship between writing and the self in a productive and fun way.

It will explore how we can use our personal experiences directly and indirectly to inform artistic writing with a focus on natural environments and building visual worlds as writing stimulus.

Aimed at writers at all stages in their writing journey, the interactive workshops will include group and individual practical writing exercises, stimulating discussions, explorations of our current exhibition and the opportunity to network, share work and receive group feedback.

You will also have the opportunity to present the work you created during the session at the end.

All materials needed to take part in this workshop will be provided.

Age Suitability: 16+
