The National Gallery will hold a Creative Writing workshop on Saturday 29th November, 11am-5pm, run in partnership with The Poetry Society. The cost for the day is £60, concessions £50. Using Rembrandt’s late self-portraits as a starting point, it will explore the parallel art of self-portraiture in words. There will be reading, discussion and the chance to create poem-portraits of your own. The idea of using a work of art as a writing exercise is very appealing…

Not sure I could do justice to Rembrandt! Fascinating idea, though. Thanks for the heads-up.
We did an exercise like this at a Faber workshop and it yielded some brilliant results. Maybe we should try it in group…
Let’s. Tanya could probably find us some paintings.
