This month, we’ll be stepping into the reflective and the uncanny and exploring the theme of Mirrors, Shadows & Doubles.

How do we see ourselves reflected back in the world around us? In the eyes of others, in images, in memories, in our creative work? What parts of ourselves are hidden or mirrored? What is revealed in shadow?

This session is a space to play with these ideas creatively. As always, we’ll begin with a short warm-up, then turn to an artwork to guide our reflection and writing. The creative prompts are always open-ended.

Whether you're thinking about identity, doubleness, masks, memory, or the self in transition, this is a chance to sit quietly with a thread of thought and see what emerges.

Date change: this month, the live session will be held on Thursday 14th August at 8pm BST.

The live sessions are never recorded. But all the visual examples and prompts are shared afterwards.

The online meeting link and some recommended readings on the theme are below:
