2 New workshops

Illustrate and Write

Thursday 21^st April 2011, 7 – 9pm

Two Dolls HQ, 73 Meadowside, Dundee, DD1 1EN.

Two Dolls are hosting an evening for Illustrators and Writers to get together for some creative networking. We will be providing basic drawing and writing tools - paper and pencils - but you can bring your usual tools if you like. There will be some quick and dirty writing and drawing to begin with and we'll take it from there. As with most Two Dolls Mingle events there will be all manner of refreshments to keep us perky.

We have put this evening together as an opportunity for two creative groups to meet, chat and play in the hope that useful connections will be made by the end of it.

If you would like to come along either message us on Facebook, email us at thosetwodolls@gmail.com or pop into the HQ. Register your interest and let us know whether you're a writer or illustrator. There is an £8 participation fee, which should be paid in advance by cash or cheque, and is non-refundable. Spaces are limited so if you are interested book your place as soon as you can.
