Sharpen your pen, shape your story

Has there been a secret story buried deep in your fondest childhood memories? As a kid, did you have one or more favourite companions – real or imaginary – and what kind of adventures did you all go on? 

Join Singapore’s well-loved creative Gwee Li Sui as he guides you to travel back in time and create a story or a poem (or more) that begins within. 

Be ready to learn, write, and share – and go home hopefully having rediscovered a part of yourself.

* Workshop conducted in English.
