This week Maggie Kelly will lead a workshop based on “The Red Dress” a 14 year creative project by British artist Kirstie Macleod. The red dress itself has been embroidered by 380 people in 51 countries and is a stunning, and record breaking, piece with amazing collaborations and lots of messages from around the world.

Maggie will talk about the Red Dress project and draw inspiration from it to stimulate new ideas and writing from those attending the workshop.

Anyone aged 18+ is welcome to attend our free workshops and you just need to bring something to write with and your imagination.
