Writing the stories of what happens when women gather
Creative writing workshop with Judi Sissons 
This experiential workshop will focus on practical and enjoyable writing activities designed to facilitate creative flow and encourage participants to access imagination and emotions in a safe, non-judgemental setting. We will use creative and expressive exercises to write from memory, imagination and in response to the images and themes in Grace’s exhibition. We will explore stories of Work, Ritual, Family, Friendship, Performance and Activism.
We will approach the writing in a spirit of adventure, within a friendly, supportive group. Suitable for all levels including beginners.
