WRP2023#05 - 08 Feb 2024: The Frescos and Creative Writing

The Waterperry Frescos and Creative Writing

Spanning three floors of the Artist’s Hall, the frescos in Waterperry House illustrate tales from some of the world’s great spiritual traditions. Through a series of creative writing workshops we will reflect on these powerful artworks, reimagining their meaning through our own experience, and our own stories.

There will be a chance to hear about the frescos, their conception, the architecture, and its meaning, along with opportunities to write in a supportive space, and to share our writings in creative company.

No previous experience of writing is necessary. You will be guided through the creative process, and the writing itself can take many forms. The Artist’s Hall is a place of profound inspiration, suffused with artistry and the power of story. This is an opportunity to bring that inspiration to our own reflection, creativity, and writings.

The event will be led by the architect Richard Ibbett who worked on the Artist’s Hall, and the writer Robin Mukherjee.
