LiterArties

About

Workshops,Talks, Mentoring

LiterArties' vision of Capturing our Creativity encompasses our aim to encourage others to access their creativity too. Several members  have  a mission to share their enthusiasm and skills through workshops and talks. Both art and writing can be used therapeutically, but more than their potential use as self-help and healing tools, they are also media through which individuals can express themselves, develop inner forms of self-belief and grasp opportunities for self-expansion. How  many people have you heard say, ‘Oh, I can’t draw!’ or, ‘But I could never write a booK!’? LiterArties challenge that through demonstrating how they do both, in both their creative andeveryday lives. 
​
We like to offer a range of topics and include a variety of creative methods, often with hands-on experience, during our exhibitions. To broaden the base of subjects and skills we can offer we work in partnership with authors from Writers in Oxford (WiO).​
