It’s hard to imagine a better setting than a bookshop in a museum for our most recent writing workshop on local stories. Lorna has done some fascinating research into the history of printing in Narberth, resulting in this discovery about Boris Pasternak’s first edition of ‘Doctor Zhivago’. And this broadened out into a discussion of labels in museums, and the stories they tell.

We were able to use objects in the museum as inspiration for writing stories which were interesting, with personality, emotion and connection added. Where you’re a regular bookshop/museum visitor, look out for these making an appearance quite soon.

To support these workshops, Lorna has created a Books On Writing section in our Chapter One Narberth online bookshop.org which is full of tempting titles.

Next session, the final one, will be writing to a theme of community.
