We also need to write and speak about it in many different professional contexts. Some artists find this a real challenge. Others embrace the potential that writing offers for the development of their creative practice.In this session we will look at some of the practical 'nuts and bolts' of writing about our work in a professional context. We’ll explore the potential of writing as a powerful creative tool for artists, and look at some inspiring examples of artists who write as part of their creative practice.As a webinar, only the speakers will be visible on the screen, but there will be opportunities during the event to ask questions via the chat / Q&amp;A function. The event will be delivered over Zoom and can be accessed via the event page once you have registered (it is recommended that you click the 'open in Zoom' option).About Samantha ClarkSamantha Clark is a visual artist, author and artist's writing coach based in Orkney.
