CWRS at Studio 3<\/h2>\n

\"CRWS<\/p>\n

This week’s Creative Writing Reading Series took place in Studio 3 in the Jarman Building. This was our first time in this venue and thanks, along with \u00a0a plug, are owed to Katy McGown. The thanks are for her organisation and hospitality on behalf of the School of Arts, and the plug for the ‘In Conversation’ event at the gallery\u00a0on the 8th of December, with a feast of art and mince pies promised. Bookings can be made here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the our immersion in the\u00a0Stuckism<\/a> exhibition in Studio 3, we were treated to film, poetry and prose from our guests\u00a0this week, multimedia polymaths Rod Mengham and Marc Atkins.<\/p>\n
