Historic Footage, New Stories: finding inspiration in the NLS archives

In this workshop you’ll learn to explore the National Library of Scotland's Moving Image and Sound Archives, discovering sights and sounds from across Scotland’s history. Taking inspiration from what you find, and supported by University of Glasgow-based writer Michael Deerwater, you’ll use your observations and experiences to begin crafting your own story.

Museum Store-ies: creating new tales from the collection

Telling the stories of the objects in Glasgow Museums' store is usually a curator’s job. In this workshop, it’s yours. You’ll roam our rows of art and artifacts and, supported by writer and University of Glasgow researcher Michael Deerwater, imagine new tales for the items you discover.

These workshops are run in partnership with Open Past.
