Hauser and Wirth, Somerset A one-day workshop in the transformational power of writing, exploring the idea that a writer works with meaning not words. This course, led by writer Kylie Fitzpatrick, will equip writers of all abilities to listen for their own unique voice and, inspired by the work of the sculptor Elizabeth Frink, to find its narrative form. Subjects covered: The power of the mythic; whether we realise it or not, writers are influenced by ancient story structures. Finding your own living myth is vital to having a voice. Writing down a story and giving it shape requires actively trying to find meaning, whether it is fiction or life-writing. Fiction teaches us to think creatively about the personal; or individuation; literature considers difference to be a sign of courage. The best heroes are who they choose to be, fighting for their ideas and freedom. These qualities are often imbued by the most courageous writers! For more details and booking please visit Hauser & Wirth website. Ticket price includes lunch in the Roth Bar & Grill. I’m delighted that the National Gallery of Victoria, in Australia, has chosen The Silver Thread as the companion to their new exhibition Making the Australian Quilt 1800–1951. The members book club discusses ‘art through a literary lens’ which is something that interests me greatly as a novelist.
