GET INTO GHOST WRITING

Alchemy Film & Arts invites sign-ups to a two-part creative writing workshop delivered by our artist in residence Jules Horne.

The two-part writing workshop will allow you to get creative and try out different characters and voices in your writing, taking Hawick’s film archives as a starting point. No previous experience necessary. Just come along and channel your inner ghost hunter!

We are delivering the two-part workshop both in-person and online. The two in-person sessions and the two online sessions will take place on separate dates.

Participants have the option of signing up to EITHER the two in-person sessions OR the two online sessions. Participants must be available for both sessions of the workshop they sign up for.
