SATURDAY 27 JULY 2024 | HALF DAY WORKSHOP
10am-1pm
Join us for Sweet Mangoes - writing the senses with Patti Miller
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
For memoirists and fiction writers who want to create the hum of lived experience on the page. Explore and extend the texture of your writing. Write the touch, taste, smell, sound and look of the world: hot sand underfoot, the aroma of crushed eucalypt leaves, the taste of sweet mangoes, the sense of being in a body. With the help of silk blindfolds, re-awaken your senses and find the words to express the world around you.
