Join artist-designer and songwriter Stacey Joy Rossouw for a series of creative workshops inspired by The Time Lab: A Living Prelude, our new exhibition at Wordsworth Grasmere.

Learn new artistic skills and try something different – from found poetry and abstract mapping to creative writing and zine making. These hands-on workshops are inspired by the themes of time and memory found in Wordsworth’s epic poem The Prelude. Using Wordsworth’s writing as a starting point, by the end of each session you will have created your own meaningful and tangible piece of art.

Saturday 16 August, 2-4.30pm: Driftwork

Discover a new, personal way to connect with Wordsworth's poetry. We'll begin by exploring Driftwork: think of it as a playful, creative wandering through words. In this gentle workshop, you will explore pages from The Prelude like an artist. Through the simple and magical technique of ‘found poetry’, you will create a unique poem that is entirely your own.
