Crossing the Threshold Part 2: Further Adventures from the Doorstep to the Page

Join us for a second creative session where we will share the different ways we have been using sketchbooks, journals and notebooks; discover more about how different writers and artists have used theirs; and try out some new techniques and fresh approaches to recording our experience.
