Join local writer Mary-Jane Holmes, Set a Crow to Catch a Crow, on this writing workshop which will take place over 4 hours most of the time spent strolling around the town of Richmond. As we explore its path and wynds, we will reflect on how our experience of environments shapes us and how by harnessing our powers of observation in relation to our surroundings, we can develop a more active way of seeing the world we inhabit. This workshop will combine discussion, walking, listening to the work of other writers and fun writing exercises. It is open to everyone whether you are a seasoned writer of any genre or simply curious about the creative writing process. Mary-Jane is a prize-winning poet who lives in Teesdale.
Please note: This workshop will be outdoors and there will be a break halfway for participants to eat their own lunch/snack. Please bring plenty of liquids and dress for the weather. Sturdy footwear and walking poles, if you use them, recommended.
