Writing the Landscape with Justin Hopper

Wanderlust – Landscape Writing and the Senses

This one-off workshop will explore what Justin Hopper describes as ‘landscape writing’ – writing about place, environment, history and memory through the lens of personal experience.

We will be introduced to strategies which use all of our senses allowing us to create more meaningful connections to landscapes. This can be explored through the otherworldly act of deep listening, the tactility of walking and the smells and immersion of weather.
