Join Katie Hanlon from Wellcome Collection's library team in a unique creative writing workshop inspired by items from our collections. You’ll be looking at images and texts relating to flowing water.
You’ll participate in several activities, such as guided visualisation and collaborative writing to help you think about describing the natural world. You’ll then have a chance to write your own piece inspired by the items you’ve examined and the conversations you’ve shared.
The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners who want a place to start to more experienced writers who may be looking for a spark for their next piece.
