Adventure into the world of zines with Author Dannika Patterson.
In this interactive workshop, participants will hone their creative hunting skills, learning a range of techniques to catch ideas throughout their daily adventures and turn them into zines and story-starters!
Using a range of sensory nature prompts around various stations, there'll be a combination of group discussion and individual creative time to record freshly gathered 'wild ideas' and story-starters in various forms. Participants will each create their own 'Adventure Zine' in this workshop, and will walk away with a range of tips, tricks and inspiration to continue their writing adventures!
