Some Odd Objects

In the Beginning Creative Writing group this morning, the writers were presented with a mysterious suitcase full of odd objects.

Their challenge was to pick an object from the suitcase and use it as creative inspiration to write a story.

We realised that objects have stories to tell and even the simplest or silliest item can get our imagination working.

This activity connects to the work of Hans-Peter Feldmann, that we have been looking at in his exhibition at the Arnolfini. His piece, Wunderkammer, is a glass cabinet displaying objects that he has collected. Some of these objects are ordinary, some are strange but all seem to have a story to tell.

The writers started to write some fantastic stories, which will be continued next week.
