Noticing the Surreal in the Everyday: Using the world around you as inspiration

There are many strange and beautiful things that form part of the fabric of our daily life, if only we might attend to them. From the shadows that shiver at our feet, to the origin story of a glove left on the roadside, to that video of a goose tap-dancing in a blizzard, there is so much that we might wonder at...
Join writer and poet, Annie Hayter, in a workshop that will offer insight into ways you might enliven your writing, exploring various inspirations in everyday life that might feed into your work. This will be a warm and supportive space, and we will use our own personal environments, as well as music, doodling, poems, and art as inspiration for our work together.
