About
Join us for a practical writing workshop, inspired by the letter writing habits of Vincent van Gogh.
In an age of instant digital communication, what might it mean to slow down and write a letter by hand? In this workshop, we'll look at examples of letter writing through the years, and consider what some of the elements of a well-written letter might be.
No previous experience is necessary, but you will need some stationery to hand: pen, paper, envelopes, and stamps.
This is a creative lunchtime workshop.
