Join us for facilitated reading and creative writing workshop hosted at Norwich Castle by Dr Sarah Lowndes and inspired the work of cartoonist and artist David Shenton.

We will begin by exploring and discussing select works from the exhibition ‘Kindly Ease The Tension’ followed by a shared reading of a text which will be supplied on the day.

Shared reading involves the course leader or another group member reading aloud and the group talking about the text together. We will then carry out creative writing exercises inspired by the artworks, reading and discussion.

Participants do not need to read anything in advance or bring anything to the session – all materials will be provided. There is no expectation to read aloud, and no pressure to speak during the sessions – active listening is respected.

Booking required, tickets £5 and include museum admission, £4.50 for Norfolk Museums Passholders
