Writing Making, Making Writing with David Carlin
This workshop series with award-winning writer, artist and essayist David Carlin is for makers/artists working in any medium who want to experiment with expressive, creative and reflective modes of writing in relation to their making practice. The workshops will make time for playful investigation of individual practices and encourage the development of a broader community of shared inquiry. Reverie, desire, wonder, curiosity, unknowing and risk will be engaged.
Aims:
• To see how writing can help generate new insights into your practice: what it is doing and what it wants to be doing.
• To have fun and gain confidence in writing as a creative practice.
• To nourish each other’s creative energies.
Come prepared to write, share work-in-progress and discuss.
Please bring a laptop and/or pen and notebook to write with.
All levels of experience are welcome.
