Blue Mythologies- Creative writing workshops in Halifax with Gaia Holmes
The title of these workshops comes from Carol Mavor’s evocative and eclectic collection of essays which draw on the colour blue through the history of art, photography, literature, folklore and mythology.
In the introduction to Blue Mythologies, Mavor, who claims to be a connoisseur of blue, says:
“The French novelist, Marie Darrieussecq, remarked that ‘astronauts are trained not to go insane when they see the Earth from above, round and blue, smaller than their porthole.’ More soothing are the words of Rebecca Solnit who poetically claims that ‘the world is blue at its edges and in its depths’.”
In this 7-week course we’ll look at all things blue and use this rich and colourful theme to inspire our own writing.
