Metaphoraging
Jeni Smith and Simon Wrigley will run the following NWP workshop at the NAWE conference in York, 9-11 November 2018:
Metaphoraging
This workshop introduces you to the work of NWP(UK) through a boxful of approaches to encourage fainthearts, diehards and cynics to write. It’ll set us all thinking about how we become writers and how we sustain our writing lives. There’ll be something for teachers who write and for writers who teach. At its heart lies the young writer. How can we engage them, empower them, and set them flying? There’ll be pocketfuls of knacks, trifles, gawds and conceits, enough to float a workshop and wind up your thoughts for the coming year. No one leaves empty-handed.
The illustration shows part of Grayson Perry's 'Map of Nowhere' - on display in the Towner Gallery, Eastbourne.
