Inner and Outer Landscapes are four creative low-cost workshops for lesbians to be held at Friends’ Centre, Ship Street, Brighton and Cornerstone Community Centre, Church Road, Hove. They will run from April to June this year.

Based in Brighton & Hove, Dyke Modern promotes creative activities that encourage lesbians to be "inspired and empowered". The group co-ordinates events, workshops and exhibitions involving all forms of art and welcomes lesbians of all backgrounds, abilities and ages.

Designed around the theme of inner and outer landscapes, the four new workshops, held in Brighton and Hove on Saturday afternoons, involve shrine-making with Tara Dikini, creative travel writing with Sheila McWattie, writing inspired by experiences of the 1940s land girls with Cathy Ives, and musical improvisation with Al Start.

Workshop co-ordinator Rebecca Jenkins said:
“Dyke Modern has been running for 11 years and co-ordinates a wide range of events, such as workshops and exhibitions for Brighton Festival and Pride. We’re inviting as many women as possible to find out about Dyke Modern and our four Spring workshops. We hold informal meetings and offer plenty of opportunities to join other creative women in our vibrant social network. No artistic experience is necessary for any of these workshops – just come along and enjoy an afternoon of creative energy. We are grateful to Brighton & Hove City Council for their support.”

Refreshments available. All venues are wheelchair accessible.

Suggested donation £5. Booking essential: call 01273 262406 or email rebkinsburg@yahoo.de
