About this event
Cost: £30 Step inside Hestercombe House and discover how art can unlock new ideas in your writing. In this relaxed, practical workshop, you’ll respond directly to pieces from the collection, using guided exercises to explore character, voice, and atmosphere. From the stories suggested by family portraits to the mood and setting captured in Bampfylde’s landscapes, you’ll learn how to translate visual inspiration into vivid, engaging writing. Suitable for all abilities, this session offers a fresh and imaginative way into both creative writing and the collection itself. Led by Somerset-based author and creative writing tutor Jo Middleton, known for her warm, accessible approach to storytelling.
