Ken Cockburn, Moniack Mhor Jessie Kesson Fellow 2020, will lead the workshop providing advice, ideas, tips and techniques to help you create a wonderful piece of poetry or prose. This afternoon workshop is suitable for family groups of any age and stage of writing – come with your parents, children, older or younger family and friends. Be sure to wear clothing suitable for the outdoors (in March in the Highlands) and your imagination at the ready. This workshop is free to attend, but spaces are limited.
