Catherine Johnson Workshop

In this lively and interactive workshop, writer Catherine Johnson will work with a class of children to help them develop their own creative writing skills. The focus will be mainly on creating characters and having fun with words, and will be accessible to all. Children will be able to get writing themselves and there'll be time to share their work with the rest of the class.
