Live Literature with Ullapool Sea Savers
A series of creative writing workshops led by LG for Ullapool Sea Savers,
a marine conservation charity run by kids for kids.
​
LG's workshops with USS included the creation of an acrostic poem dedicated to the sea. This was created outdoors, on a slipway, with the Sea Savers taking inspiration from their surroundings. The poem was later reclaimed by the sea. Other workshops included making zines inspired by all things marine, and the creation of stories inspired by ocean currents and messages in bottles.
​
These workshops were funded by the Scottish Book Trust Live Literature programme. Please contact LG if you would like her to run workshops for your group.
