Today we had a writing workshop and to be honest I was not looking forward to it that much!! However, I was certainly proved wrong. I have never really thought of including writing within my art but from todays workshop I might think of including it more. We began by just writing everything from our minds, non stop for around 2 mins. After that we described in 6 words our favourite book, this was quite difficult having to strip down a whole book into that smaller amount of words. After that we all took one item from the suitcase which interested us. I chose this old tea cup. Sasha then asked us loads of questions about the item to get us think: What does it smell of? Who owned it first? What would it say if it could speak? ..The one that I found quite fun was what would its job be, but not its conventional job. I could picture it sat on the kitchen windowsill with odd buttons in it collecting dust. The spare buttons that you get with clothes had over the years been collected and placed in this cup for safe keeping. At the end we had to create a 6 worded synopsis for it. Cups are always used when people come round to chat, have a natter. This cup would have heard so many conversations, some of less importance but there would have been times when something really interesting came about. I also decided that this cup was given as a wedding present. With these two things combined I go "Gift Of Gossip". "Collecting The Dust" came from my imagination of it sat on the windowsill waiting for more buttons to be added to it.
