New Mothers as Writers

Duration: 2h
Dates: Wed 4 Jun 2025 10:30 - 12:30

Join Catrin Kemp for a creative writing workshop connected to Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood.

The workshop will offer the chance to spend two -hours with other parents and carers of young children while looking at some of the fundamentals of putting words onto paper, using artworks from the exhibition as prompts. You do not need to have any previous writing experience, and your young children can attend with you. 

Catrin Kemp is an award-winning creative producer, and Founder & Director of The New Mothers’ Writing Circle, link here: https://www.newmumswriting.co.uk
