Points of Contact: Creative nutrition for Midlands writers and visual artists

boy-in-boat

We were delighted to work with The Moveable Feast Workshop Company on Points of Contact, a workshop that aimed to provide creative nutrition for writers and visual artists by allowing them to explore new possibilities and collaborations together.

Using storytelling, printmaking, dialogue and writing we aimed to:

  • Explore the relationship between the visual and the literary
  • Exchange ideas
  • Work in different combinations
  • Produce individual and collective work
  • Explore different materials
  • Be playful
  • Eat and be well refreshed
  • Have reflective time
  • Dream a little…
