Hidden Stories: Do you see what I see?

(Two-part online workshop on 2 Saturdays. Part 1 - Sat 14th, Part 2 Sat 21st November. 10am-12pm each day)

Discover and create stories and poems about people, places and strange happenings in paintings.

In this interactive online workshop, participants will use famous paintings as a stimulus for creative story-making. Explore different perspectives within the one image and be inspired to ignite your imagination to reveal the hidden stories found in the canvas.

Some stories discovered may unfold a mystery, speak of tragedy or triumph. Others may be playful, joyful, intriguing with unusual characters, foreign landscapes or surprising events

Participants are invited to work in small breakout groups and individually to stretch their imagination to develop their creativity, spontaneity and storytelling skills to awaken new stories to be told.
