I am delighted to be running a Poetry & Paint workshop with Susan Allen from Wordsworth Grasmere as part of Maryport Arts & Literature Festival. This is a practical session which will be held at the Senhouse Museum, on 8th March, 10 -4pm. It is subsidised by the festival- tickets are just £5, which includes all materials. Last year our workshop was over subscribed, so if you’d like to join us, book your place by ringing the museum on 01900 816168. The session is based on the festival theme, ‘ living on the edge’ and we will be using poetry & paint, drawing & writing to explore themes relating to the marginalisation of people. All welcome, no experience necessary. We have titled the workshop
‘Just at the closing in of the Day ‘ (Dorothy Wordsworth, February 1802): A creative dive into the lives of those living on the edge.
