“The benefit of journaling is not limited to what you produce but rather found in your experience and how you think along the way.” (John Muir Laws, 2016)

Journaling is a process that facilitates and deepens connections to everyday objects, events, and places through a combination of writing and art.

In this session, we will consider historical objects at Eskbank House Museum and reflect on both their stories and our own. No previous writing, artistic or historical skills are necessary. All you need is curiosity.

Tracie McMahon is a published writer and teacher, whose short stories have been shortlisted in local and national writing competitions. She is currently working on taking her historical fiction manuscript to publication, in between exercising her creative muscles with short stories and art. Her writing can be found online at www.themovingpen.com.au and https://lithgowlocalnews.com/

All materials and morning tea supplied.
