The Worldbuilder
A Creative Writing Workshop with David Hartley
Create an entire world in two hours with this playful creative writing workshop. Join writer David Hartley as he guides you from a blank page to a fully-realised island realm, discovering stories and legends along the way. You’ll write about your islanders; their hopes and fears, their dreams and destinies, their songs and fables. At the end of the workshop, you can take your island home to use as the basis for more creativity.
All materials provided, but feel free to bring notepads, pens, and any manner of colourful stationery that you have to hand. Suitable for ages 16+.
