Spymaster, Craig and Hill - Sunday 11th May

Bloom'n Workshops - Sunday 11th May

The photos today are of Val Bloom telling her tales of Caribbean childhood...and getting everyone to join in. Curwen Print showing techniques for creating your own book cover, Alan Shea and his Creative Thinking workshop and Deborah Chancellor and her Write-a-Book workshop.

I'm nearly there, I think another couple of days and I'll have covered all the events! Thanks to Dan Johnson for the photos.
