A Thing That Wants: Love Letter Workshop
Calling all romantics! Come bare your hearts at this love letter writing workshop, where we turn to literary history to create new messages of pining, obsession and ardour.
This is a fun, casual, collage-style workshop, employing the real (and sometimes horny) love letters of famous writers, along with other materials, to create a bespoke letter for your own beloved (actual or imagined). There will be the option to share your letter at the end of the workshop before taking it home.
