Take the unique opportunity to explore University College London’s rare books, archives and manuscripts from the comfort of your own home or classroom.
This workshop is part of a series with UCL Special Collections Outreach team. We asked professional writers to explore the collection with the help of UCL staff Vicky Price and Sarah Pipkin to find a book, archive item or manuscript that inspired them to create a workshop for you take part in.
Actor and writer Rob Thorpe-Woods challenges you to get creative using The Nuremberg Chronicle as inspiration. Focusing on building creative characters, strong narrative structures and interesting settings, this workshop gives you the chance to flex your creative writing muscles using rare books as your starting point.
