JMW Turner: Shared Reading and Writing Workshops with Dr Sarah Lowndes

Castle and Marketplace

We are delighted to be working again with Dr Sarah Lowndes on these special workshops. Join us for a facilitated reading and creative writing group inspired by the works displayed in ‘JMW Turner and changing visions of landscape’.

Each of these sessions employs a triple-pronged approach and will begin with looking at and discussing a piece of work in ‘JMW Turner and changing visions of landscape’, followed by a shared reading of a text which will be supplied on the day.

Shared reading involves the course leader or another group member reading that week’s text aloud and the group talking about the text together. We will then carry out creative writing exercises inspired by that week’s artwork, reading and discussion.

Group participants do not need to read anything in advance or bring anything to the session – all materials will be provided. There is no expectation to read aloud, and no pressure to speak during the sessions – active listening is respected.

Tickets £5, includes museum admission, £4.50 with a Norfolk Museums Pass

Each session is unique and standalone, so you can join for one or all three!
