Creative Future workshops in Leeds

 Workshops for underrepresented writers:

Last chance to book! New writing workshops in Leeds   The Poetry of Food: writing workshops for underrepresented writers   Food is more than just sustenance – it’s one way we build community, coming together and sharing parts of ourselves. From ancient times sharing stories over meat on an open fire through to the modern sensibilities of fine dining and small plates, food is how we celebrate, how we mourn, how we socialise, and how we survive.    These two one-off sessions with Leeds Writer In Residence Jem Henderson are about the poetry of food, examining how we can write about food in ways that allow us to explore our histories, our culture and ourselves. You are welcome to come to one or both sessions.  Key Information   Dates: Tuesdays, 21st & 28th May   Location: Shine, Harehills Road, Leeds, LS8 5HS   Time: 6 - 7.45pm   Cost: £2.50   Who Is It For: These workshops are for people from working class and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
