In this series of workshops we will explore exercises in writing, drawing and collage as ways of journaling our thoughts, memories and feelings. The intention of the workshops is to encourage participants to find a personal way for journaling to become part of their daily mental health routine and a resource for further creative projects.
As a visual artist I find drawing and visualizing easier than putting words to my thoughts and feelings. Practicing image, mark & word relationships becomes a playful and generative way of exploring thresholds of legibility and expression - and how image and text can work together to express the nuance and complexities of our human experience.
(No prior visual art experience required.)
"In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself."
Susan Sontag

We’re experimenting with a sliding scale fee model, allowing for the Writer’s Way events to be offered at multiple price points based on your financial circumstances.
For it to work, we’re relying on principles of truthfulness and accountability.
Teachers deserve to be paid and course participants deserve to attend personal development courses which recognise the multiple reality of economic access and privilege that exist.
Fee option 1 is a reduced rate for those whose budget genuinely cannot accommodate option 2.
Fee option 2 represents the fair and true cost of the course.
Fee option 3 is for those who are able to pay for themselves and pay extra towards making it possible for another person to attend a LRC writing course at a nominal rate.
