Island Bay What's On 9th - 18th August 2013
This coming week at the centre: • A local artist is interested in holding Driftwood Carving classes each week at the centre. If you are interested let me know and we can start up the sessions.
Joe Ryan is starting up Short Fiction Workshops at the centre every Thursday from 3–4.30pm starting from September 26. Stories are all around us, and help us make sense of the world. They can be therapeutic, and just plain fun to create. They help us explore fantastic worlds and connect us with our imagination in beautiful ways. Stories are a great art form to learn in Life.
They are used everywhere: music, poetry, film, video games, novels, plays, and more. They surround us and are a fundamental part of us each night when we dream. Everyone has a story to tell, the only question is - what is your story? Although the workshop is free, please bring $1 per visit to help pay for the room, and tea and coffee.
Sign up by contacting Joe by email - J.E.Ryan@live.com or by phone - 020 401 16178
