Feeling Fashion: A Workshop on Writing Clothes
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+.
