About the course
As part of this year’s Writers In Residence programme, join Sallyanne Rock for a 2-part creative writing workshop inspired by watching glassmakers at work and spending time with the stunning exhibitions.
Don’t worry if you can only make one part of this workshop – each session is self-contained so you won’t feel like you’re missing anything.
