Writing Workshop with Celia Bryce – Little Acorns Mighty Oaks

£2 per person

Suitable for ages 16+

Join Celia Bryce for some writing exercises which will take your imagination to places where things are growing: from window boxes to allotments, from gardens around us to the velvet lawns and ornamental grounds of grand estates. Let’s grub about in the soil to find bugs and worms, flower-bulbs and tree-roots. Let’s look under stones, roll away boulders, find shadowy corners and forgotten places. Then, later, in the quiet, after all that busy investigating, bring your imaginations back inside, brush off the dust, and have a look at the writing you’ve produced. Let’s develop some of it, shape it, prune it, snip away at the straggly edges, reveal what’s there. Maybe a piece of poetry or the makings of a story. A piece of drama or a conversation, perhaps, between an ant and a snail, or a little acorn and a mighty oak. You just never know with imaginations…

£2 per person. Booking required.

Suitable for ages 16+

This workshop is part of Green Libraries Week which takes place 2-8 October and celebrates the work going on in libraries across the UK, focused on sustainability and climate change.
