Workshop - Creative Non Fiction

Duration: 180 minutes

Remember that enchantment you felt as a child, when the world opened up to you, and how you made sense of it in the stories you invented, and the stories you were told?  In this workshop, Philip Hoare will explore how to write about the natural environment, and ourselves, and how to regain that sense of enchantment.  Drawing in particular on his lifelong yet conflicted fascination with the sea, Philip will explore the way personal experience, memoir and description can come together in a satisfying creative act that extends our understanding and our enjoyment: sensing, observing, recording, writing.
