Writing Sessions are back for 2016!

Hello Creative Writers and Happy 2016!

It's a new year and we have a new series of writing sessions planned for this term. Students will be working with actors on script ideas, understanding how archives can inspire our writing, looking at how textiles relate to the fabric of writing and much more besides! Please see below.
