Barbara’s THE WRITE STUFF (April)
Workshop was a resounding success. ‘Inspirational!’ ‘A fantastic creative experience!’ are just a few of the glowing testimonials. ‘Very well organised and brilliantly structured’ were more. Barbara says ‘We all bonded quickly on the April course and my writers left proudly with short stories of their own. It’s all about tapping into your inner creativity and confidence. I aim to release that creativity and to encourage writers, old and new!’
The Blacksheep Bar is steeped in history with a few of its own stories to tell. It has now gone under a complete transformation and refurbishment and is now a stylish, elegant venue with a vibrant atmosphere serving fantastic food and drinks in the centre of Ryde. ‘We are delighted to be working with Barbara on The Write Stuff’ Annie Horne says.
