Everyday Stories: reimagining the histories of Don Bank Museum objects
This workshop will explore how everyday objects can provide inspiration for writing historical fiction.
Using objects from the Don Bank Museum Collection, North Sydney Council’s Writer-in-Residence Kate Austin-Raffan will show how, by reimagining the histories of these objects, we can prompt unexpected and new paths to writing about the past.
