In these short,Β interactive workshops you’ll be guided toΒ create lasting mementoes of how we’re living now, or memories of how weΒ used to live: it’s up to you! All you need is pen and paper, anΒ internetΒ connection, and theΒ willingnessΒ toΒ have a go.
Sheena Wilkinson is hosting two virtual creative writing workshops for MHS Heritage & Culture Ltd. on Saturday 20th June and Saturday 11th July at 3.30 pm. Each workshop will be hosted on Zoom and will be about an hour and a half long. Sheenaβs way of working is very relaxed and informal and she has run a creative writing event with us before based on a walk through Drumnaph Woods which was very enjoyable and inspiring.
There is no charge for taking part but it will be necessary to book your place in advance. To do this either ring the MHS Centre at 02879642677 or email us at info@maghera-heritage.org.uk β
