Those who have attended previous workshops have included experienced writers such as Leigh Montford, a performance poet who is establishing herself on the international circuit, and women for whom creative writing is a new adventure. Tutor Trish Harris is a professional award winning writer, who has explored her own disability through writing. I'm really keen to see, and continue to explore how writing, disability and creativity fit together,' she added. More than a dozen women have tangled with tigers and tulips so far, including follow up sessions, and Trish says she and co-tutor Jamie Bull hope to take the workshop around smaller centres and towns in the future. The workshop is run independently.
Women pay a small amount and grants cover the rest of the costs.
