ONLINE Writing Workshops from Highland Folk Museum
Posted by CHARTS
Ignite your creativity with this series of word and image workshops in this exciting partnership between the Highland Folk Museum and Storylands Sessions. Join us in responding to the the lesser-known stories of the Highlands, inspired by images of unique objects from the Museum’s collection.
Each month, we will gather online via ZOOM (or similar) to explore intriguing artefacts. These objects act as springboards for imaginative journeys – stories, poems, memoirs, or drama – with no limitation on genre or style and no expectation to focus on history or the Highlands. Let the objects spark your creativity and see where it takes you!
