Feeling Fashion: A Writing Workshop on Clothes

Saturday 26th April, 2-4pm
Paisley Central Library
Tickets – Pay What You Can, £3/£5/£8/£10

How we dress our bodies can communicate, nurture and bring joy. Clothes tell stories and yet so often we become out of touch with the textiles, colours and silhouettes that shape us. ‘Feeling Fashion’ is an open space where we will meet, engage and explore with our dress. Participants will be invited to bring in (or wear) garments to engage with throughout the session. Short writing exercises will be paired alongside ‘slow looking’ drawing sessions where we ‘meet’ garments. Through this engagement, participants will interact with the everyday practice of getting dressed and respond through experimental writing that can be used and developed in personal writing projects including memoirs and character development.

Facilitated by Casci Ritchie, a fashion and cultural historian, writer, educator and PhD researcher who specializes in Prince, fashion in film & music, consumption, identities and fandom. This workshop is designed for all abilities. Age guidance: 18+.
