Writing in the Museum with the Writers' Greenhouse
Workshop Description
You’re invited to explore the History of Science Museum after dark through guided creative writing. Everyone’s welcome, from history, science, or writing buffs to complete newbies in any or all of those.
In this workshop you will:
- Discover the astrolabes up close with a museum curator
- Take part in a writing workshop with a published poet and experienced teacher to create something that delights you
- Collaborate in a friendly supportive atmosphere to create a poem about the museum’s astrolabes – no experience necessary
All in the magical space of the museum’s vaulted Basement Gallery and sweeping Upper Gallery, after dark.
Please note: we regret that there is no step-free access to the museum.
