Landscapes of the Heart
Sunday, July 14, 1 - 4 p.m.
To be held on site at the McLoughlin Gardens in Merville.
This multi-genre workshop will introduce you to field journaling as a technique to experience and learn about our local environment and how to translate that into an attendance to place. Field journalling is an excellent way of enriching your writing practice. We’ll use pen and ink, watercolour, and writing exercises to attend to the local landscape.
Bring supplies (a waterproof drawing pen, good sketching or water colour paper, paints) if you have them; if you don’t, some will be available to borrow. For all levels, especially those who don’t think they’re artists!
Registration limited to 12 participants. Registration opens June 20, 2019. Cost: $45 for non-members, $35 for members. Some scholarships available, please inquire by writing to Christine Dickinson at chrisda@shaw.ca. To register for this workshop, please go to Landscapes of the Heart.

Poetry is inextricably tied to place. Hone your writing practice with exercises designed to foster place-based writing. We’ll examine how metaphor, image, and tone can contribute to your work. We’ll learn more about the local environment and foster a deepened attendance to place through poetry. For all levels.
