Writing Workshop: The Art of Illustration

The Granary Creative Arts Centre

Join us for a fun and accessible writing workshop looking at how illustrating our stories/poems can help our writing

This workshop is a fun and accessible workshop to get you into, or expanding your creative writing. It&#x27;s suitable both for complete beginners, or for those looking for another route into beating writers block.
The aim is to use drawing, illustration and art to work our visual and descriptive skills. The act of creating art, choosing colours and drawing our settings can make us think differently about how we should describe things to get across the feeling in our heads that we want our audience to experience.
We&#x27;ll discuss map-making, drawing settings and characters, building layouts, and story-boarding and how they can be useful for us as writers during the writing process. 
You will be able (and welcome) to use your own story/setting for the exercises, as well as opting to use a classic fairy tale. You can also work in whatever medium you like, whether that is poetry, short story, a novel, or flash fiction. 
There is no need to be an accomplished artist. This is about using art in a conceptual way to open up your creativity and get your brain thinking in a different gear. Of course if you end up with work that helps you market or add to your writing that is an added bonus!
You will also have a chance to get one-on-one feedback on your writing during the workshop, and get feedback after sharing with the group. Also included in the price of your workshop is a ticket to our SPOKEN WORD AND STORYTELLING NIGHT which begins shortly after the end of this workshop. Another great chance to share your writing and connect with other writers.More information can be found on our website: https://www.granarycreativearts.com/writing-workshop
