This immersive workshop invites you to experience art beyond the visual, engaging all the senses to inspire creative writing. Through guided activities and creative prompts, you'll experiment with alternative ways of beholding art and everyday objects – listening, touching, imagining scent and texture – to develop fresh approaches to creative writing. You’ll try innovative techniques that create a dialogue between your words and the displayed artwork, such as embodying the perspective of an artwork or collaborating in pairs to translate visual elements into rich, sensory descriptions. Whether you're a writer, artist, or simply curious, this session will encourage you to connect with art beyond the visual, and to experiment with multisensory creative writing approaches. Participating artists, whose artwork will be used as prompts, include: Juliet Thomas, Stanley West, Harriet Hapgood and Joe Emmens. The workshop is part of Highams Park's Art Trail, organised by the Highams Park Arts and Culture Group. About the workshop facilitator Nataliya Deleva is a British-Bulgarian writer, mentor and workshop facilitator, living in London. Her debut novel, Four Minutes, was originally published in Bulgaria, where the book received the most prestigious Bulgarian prize for emerging literature in 2018 and was shortlisted for several other national awards. The International Booker Prize winner Georgi Gospodinov described it as “a novel about people on the margins of society,  that grabs you by the throat, a poignant novel”. It has since been translated into German, English and Polish. Her second novel Arrival, written originally in English, was published by The Indigo Press, UK (2022). Her short fiction, non-fiction and critique have appeared in literary journals and anthologies, such as Stories from the 90s (ICU Publishing, 2019), Words Without Borders, Fence, Psyche, Asymptote, Lunate, Review31 and Granta. www.nataliyadeleva.com
