CRAFT WRITERS GROUP, DUBLIN
 
The next meeting of the Craft Writers Group is on Monday 2nd July, 7 - 9pm at the Design Tower on Pearse Street. New members are always welcome.

Writing
The written exercise for this month is reviewing - you might try a 300 word review of an exhibition or a book - with the emphasis on saying what you really feel about it and what would happen if you wrote honestly. Balance can be addressed another day!
And/or please feel free to bring an extract of the writing that you're working on.

Reading
As we're moving into the planning stage of our magazine (with the speed of a snail) I want to look at a couple of articles from the American Craft Council's magazine.

And one from Crafts (the UK equivalent)

The idea is to look at the different approaches and think about what works best.
