River Ribble Art and Writing Workshops (Source to Coast)

Creative writing, printmaking and bookmaking workshops with writer Anne Caldwell and artist Jo Gorner.

What you can expect from the project

The project will evolve over 3 free sessions starting with a walk, discussion and workshop at Brockholes Nature Reserve on 6th May 2026. This will be followed by two face to face writing, printmaking and bookmaking workshops at the Harris Museum 13th and 20th May 2026 Market Square, Preston PR1 2PP). We ask you to attend all three sessions.

There is an additional online creative writing event on 27th May with Anne 7PM – 8.30, which you are welcome to attend. More details regarding this will be sent to you. You can book on to this additional session: LCC Events

The project will culminate with creating a ‘book’ of writing and images to celebrate the River Ribble.

Materials will be provided. Please bring wellies or stout shoes to Brockholes and a packed lunch. We will contact you before the first session with further information and instructions.

This event is run in conjunction with The Open University and Lancashire Libraries.
