Every object has a story—where it’s from, the hands it has passed through, the lives it touched before finding its way to our home, school, or office. In this four-session series, we will use the hidden lives of objects as inspiration to write new poems and stories. We will make our own journals, learn about sustainable art, explore Turnip Green’s huge collection of materials and curiosities, and write as we go. The series will culminate in a gallery show that features your writing alongside local artists. Come discover the creative power of objects reimagined.
