Join this interactive creative writing workshop inspired by the iconic Worktown photographs of working-class Bolton communities from the 1930s.
This session explores the Mass Observation project’s attempt to create an ‘Anthropology of Ourselves’ through word and image. Bring along your own photographs of Bolton’s landmarks to use as additional creative prompts.
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in finding their own creative voice and connecting with Bolton’s local heritage through storytelling. Don’t miss this opportunity—reserve your spot today and join us in person or online!
You can attend this workshop in-person at Bolton Central Library, or online. To attend online please email r.harris@bolton.ac.uk to receive the joining link.
A related creative writing workshop will take place in the morning from 10:00-12:00. Find out more about 'Bolton's Literary Legacies'.
