Free Creative Writing Workshop
Thursday February 2nd, 11:30 am to 12:50 pm
Library Classroom

In this session, learn how to mine archive materials (newspapers, research texts, old photos) for great stories. The possibilities are endless: adopt 'found' characters or situations, recreate the textures of the past, and/or image what is missing from an official story. Come with a pen and your imagination. We'll supply the rest.
