Writers workshop

SATURDAY 14-17:00

with Dave & Dixon from Wordplay

Participation is free, but donations are welcome – please register beforehand via Luma so they know what to expect.

Art comes in many shapes, and the written word is one of them.

With the help of the gang from @Wordplay, discover how to guide your own words from brain to paper, regardless of your writing experience.

We’ve read that they are very friendly and that they create a supportive space, so don’t be shy, bring a pen and paper, and write with them by the river.

Dave and Dixon will lead you through writing exercises and word games in the workshop – they will be happy to provide feedback for your own work if you want it..
