Age Guidance: All are welcome.

Join poet Helen Bowell for a relaxed writing workshop, the last of Helen’s tour delivering similar sessions in libraries across Lewisham this Spring. Thinking about the theme of ‘community’, we’ll explore what’s important to us and why. We’ll write from objects, people and places, becoming archivists of our own lives. Everyone is welcome – you don’t need any experience to take part, just an open mind.
