Kathleen Jones (Workshop)

Have you ever thought of your life as a journey through a particular country? There are familiar landmarks, strange places, hills and valleys to be negotiated. We live our lives in close relationship to the earth we live on; it’s where we belong, the context of all our experiences. Explore the unique landscape of your own life and putting it on the page. 

There will be a 15 minute break during the workshop
