We return to Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery on Saturday 27 April for the second of our workshop series here this spring. After last month’s fantastic opening session with Oliver James Lomax, we’re now thrilled to introduce Louise Fazackerley as our guest facilitator.
The workshop takes place from 10am-12pm.
As always, our workshops are open to everybody, but we particularly encourage participants to identify as working-class or as coming from a working-class background.
Our workshops are designed to be a safe and supportive space in which you can explore new ideas or just sharpen your mind generally. Tickets are Pay As You Feel and are priced at £3, £5, and £7 – they’re available here.
Louise Fazackerley
With work rooted in the working class, Louise Fazackerley explores the world in a way that makes the ugly, beautiful, and the mundane, fantastical. Winner of BBC Radio 3 ‘New Voices’, European Slam Finalist and support artist for punk legend Dr. John Cooper Clark, Louise is a true, Northern, powerhouse. As seen and heard on BBC 1 Breakfast television, BBC Radio 3, and Woman’s Hour BBC Radio 4.
Published poetry collections include The Pleasure Dome (Burning Eye), The Lolitas (Verve Poetry Press), The Uniform Factory (Verve Poetry Press), Bird St. (The Secret Writers Club), and audio book, Council House Poetry (Nymphs & Thugs.) Louise has a degree in Theatre Studies and Creative Writing from Lancaster University, an MA in Creative Writing from Edge Hill University, and is an experienced teacher. She lectures and teaches creative writing in schools, prisons, and universities. When she is not writing, Louise is loping around Wigan and wrangling two teenage daughters and two teenage cats.
