Do you think creative writing is not your thing? During this workshop we will practise various ways of finding new texts within existing printed materials. By leaving the process to chance, you will come up with associations that will surprise you. Chance operations deliver the sort of juxtapositions that you would not think of normally and yet make perfect poetic sense.
Over a period of four hours, we will play with words from newspapers, flyers, secondhand books and my ‘Spinning Poetry’ currently on display at Birnam Arts. You will find the process of chance operations liberating when everything else we do is about making choices.
Since graduating with a BA in Sculpture, an MA and MPhil in Visual and Cultural Studies from Edinburgh College of Art, Martine Foltier Pugh has been exhibiting around Edinburgh and Central Scotland. She has written some thirty articles for Art in Healthcare about the artists in their collection and wrote the book Marj Bond about the Scottish colourist artist. She ran a series of poetry workshops as artist in residence in an Edinburgh school.
This workshop is suitable for a range of ages.
The workshop will take the following format:
12.15 - 2.00 first session
2.00 - 2.15 break & discussion
2.15 - 3.45 second session
3.45 - 4.15 rounding up session
