Ghost story writing workshop

Saturday 20th October 2018, 14:00pm - 17:00pm
tickets for the writing workshop (with tea and cake) are £26.79, including booking fee.

Just in time for Halloween, learn how to use tension, pace and jeopardy to create your own ghost story in a Regency house rich in history and atmosphere.

The three hour workshop led by an experienced writer and artist will allow you to step back into the past. You will be taken on a creative tour of an historic building, produce an instant book that captures new ideas and images and learn how to develop your own chilling stories. All that and delicious homemade cake.

Adult: 16+ No experience needed: absolute beginners very welcome.

The course will be run by Bridget Whelan, writer and novelist, who has nearly 20 years experience of running writing courses and workshops; and by Jill Vigus, artist and printmaker, who is bringing some fantastic new approaches to ghostly storytelling.

Exhibition - peck o' trouble
by artist Suzanne O'Haire

Friday 2nd - Sunday 25th November
Mon - Tues: by appointment only
Wed - Fri: 11:00am - 6:00pm
Sat - Sun: 12noon - 4:00pm
Free admission

For this exhibition, Suzanne O'Haire will present a series of 34 domestic-scale sculptural assemblages, titled beyond belief, made predominately out of discarded objects, castings from disposed packaging and elements of neon lighting. Permanent structures will emerge from impermanent matter, where arrangements of acrobatically stacked, bundled or tentatively balanced forms will perform as supposed magical sigils or spells.

O'Haire wants this work to encourage conversation regarding a presumed connection between the making of art and notions of magic. She has invited Sally O'Reilly (writer), Simon Costin (Director of the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic) and David Bramwell (writer/broadcaster) as guest speakers. All three have revealed a distinctive slant towards the occult within their own work and will give talks within the duration of the show.

Guest speaker events will be available to book through Eventbrite at a later date.
Saturday 10th November - Sally O'Reilly
Saturday 17th November - Simon Costin
Saturday 24th November - David Bramwell

As Suzanne explains, "No conscious value system breaks down why I chose what I do - I'd prefer to believe that what I find, or what finds me, plays with notions of luck and chance".
