This year’s Workshop Week programme is live and packed with a range of events designed to inspire your inner writer and take your work out of the ideation phase and turn it into something more.
We invite writers and creatives alike to enjoy a diverse line-up of workshops facilitated by some of our city’s top creators.
Our goal at Open Book is to bring unique groups of people together to share experiences, perspectives and knowledge. This allows us to learn from each other in a process that prioritises community and collective growth in safe and welcoming spaces, key aspects to our ethos.
Event themes vary widely from The ABCs of Writing with Mohale Mashigo covering everything emerging writers need, to The Art of Everyday hosted by Reinhard Venzke who will demonstrate how we can use comics and zines to capture our lives.
The line-up features 13 unique events facilitated by some of our city’s top creators!
We are excited to have ClimateLounge (Sarah Robyn Farrell and Dela Gwala) and Siphokazi Jonas joining us again. Alongside them we have The Writing Room (Toni Giselle Stuart and Chantel Erfort Manuel), Giles Griffin, the team from New Contrast (Robyn Paterson and Shane van der Hoven) and many others who each offer innovative and fresh concepts. Please note, some of the workshops run over more than one day, and you will need to be available for all sessions.
The workshops will be held at Bertha House within their various spaces and prior booking is essential as each event has limited capacity. To book your tickets head over to our programme page.
Stay in the loop with all Open Book news by signing up to our newsletter and following us on our various social media platforms.
Special thanks to our sponsors and partners without whom none of this would be possible.
