when nothing means something
With Wren Bisley
'when nothing means something' is a writing course that focuses on the moments we often brush past. For example, the sound of a train door closing, passing a stranger wearing a familiar scent - we will think through moments like these to understand how meaning forms, before it becomes words on a page. To do this, we will draw on our own experiences, as well as multimedia materials and text. Each session has two parts: discussing materials together, then writing independently. Any form of writing is welcome. If you have an unfinished project or an idea you are not yet sure how to start, this course could be a supportive framework for developing your work. Classes are held in English. Sharing your writing is optional.

Sliding scale
We use a sliding scale to make courses as affordable as possible. Here’s how to use it: Lower end: You don’t have a stable income. Mid range: You have a less stable financial situation and are more selective about where you spend your money. Higher end: You experience relative financial stability. Solidarity spot: You’re experiencing financial precarity and wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to come to a workshop.
