Heritage Arts Challenge: Prose Workshop with Jan Carson

Join UAH for a virtual prose writing workshop led by Jan Carson, as part of our Heritage Arts Challenge series. The Heritage Arts Challenge aims to inspire people to create a work of art inspired by a historic building or place in Northern Ireland. Jan will be introducing the art of writing to create a strong sense of place, and will help you to tap into your creativity to bring your ideas out onto the page.

Free and Open to All.
