This second exciting writing event, provided by Rebecca de Pelet, offers you the opportunity to explore ekphrastic writing, which responds to works of art.
This day event will begin with a taught section about the history of ekphrasis with examples of literary works from the Romantic period up to the present day. This will be followed by a writing exercise in response to a particular painting.
After lunch, a short tour of the current exhibition at The Sherborne will be followed by the opportunity to respond with ekphrastic writing to a work of your choice.
