19 May: Ekphrastic Creative Writing Workshop | Infinite Possibilities

Find new inspiration for your creative writing at this practical ekphrastic writing workshop. Learn about ekphrastic writing and its history, then put this into action and draw inspiration from the Infinite Possibilities exhibition at Te Atamira. Tutor Bethany Rogers will guide you with writing prompts and there will be an opportunity to share your work with the group (if you wish) for feedback.
