Fridays 10am – 3.30pm, May/June 2010.

A series of one day creative workshops, aimed at all amateur and professional writers including 6th form students who are studying literature and/or arts subjects. Each one day workshop is designed to enhance confidence, and develop originality in writing skills for personal development or coursework requirements. Inspired by the work of figurative artist Susie Mendelsson who is exhibiting at the jgallery in her solo exhibition 7th May to 27th June 2010.

Participants will experience the challenges of connections between visual art and the written word. During the day there will be a series of thought provoking exercises resulting in finished pieces of prose and poetry some of which, will be displayed in the gallery alongside Susie’s artwork.

Susie Mendelsson writes about her work: “The way people look, move and behave fascinates me. They are like unwritten books which reflect their life’s journey, their struggles, and the vulnerabilities which lie behind the mask. I can watch people for hours, inventing stories about them. Like made-up fairy tales, but with the real characters in front of me.”

Dates available: Fridays May 14th, 21st, 28th, & June 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th. Cost: £25 per person (a few subsidised places available subject to funder’s criteria).

Tutors: Yvonne Mitton/Marianne May/ Judith Allnatt/Maria Luisa Coelho/Andreas Petzoid/Sally Spedding (TBC). VENUE: jgallery, 25 West Street, Moulton, Northants, NN3 7SB.
