Course:Worn Stories: A Ffasiwn Creative Writing Workshop with Rosie Findlay

National Museum Cardiff

This November, join us for a special series of creative workshops alongside our exciting new photography exhibition: “It’s Called Ffasiwn.” 

We often focus on the visual dimensions of clothing, but what other stories do our clothes have to tell us? Writer and academic Rosie Findlay invites you to explore how what we wear connects us to our sense of self, other people and the wider world. Together, we will read excerpts of personal narratives of dress by a range of writers to open up how clothes tell our stories before participants have opportunity to write their own creative response to a treasured garment of their own. 

Suitable for adults, this is the perfect way to get creative and inspired this November, whatever your writing experience.
