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 20 September, 2-4.30pm: Timeworld

Every map holds a story. In this reflective workshop, we'll use your creative work to build a Timeworld: a unique story-space that steps into the landscape of a memory, a dream, or your imagination. Inspired by Wordsworth’s The Prelude, we’ll use your found poems and sensory maps as doorways, with gentle and inspiring prompts to help you write a short piece of prose that brings the world of your art to life.
