In this creative writing workshop, you’ll learn techniques to create your own short stories based on historic artefacts. Using the techniques that helped her write her short story The Call of the Sea from Lancashire Stories Anthology, writer and journalist Antonia Charlesworth Stack will guide you through ways to draw inspiration from a variety of objects connected to the Blackpool Heritage Action Zone area. You will explore newspaper archive cuttings, photographs and objects and learn how to use them to inform your story in a relaxed conversational learning environment.
