SAC Arts Festival - Quick Round-Up

Things have been busy for both of us these past couple of weeks, but we wanted to post about the Arts Festival before we move on to newer news.

The festival was booming on the Saturday and a big success for SAC, and the writing group learned a valuable bundle about promotion and presence—things we plan to take with us to the next event. We had a fantastic turnout of loot in the end, as you can see here:

 

We also got to finally meet our sister group, the poetry writers, and even take part in a poetry workshop. I'm not sure if we're ready to start sharing our poems just yet, but it was fascinating trying out some of the processes of transforming prompts and stream-of-consciousness writing into poems. We didn't realise we had it in us!

Next up, we will be showcasing more of our work at the Mere Literary Festival (October 10^th - 16^th 2011). We hope you'll come along and visit us! There will be even more creative writing available in the form of booklets, flyers, bookmarks, and creative writing games. We'll post more about this closer to the time.

We’re hard at work preparing for the arts centre’s festival next weekend. We’ve been making booklets, postcards and bookmarks to showcase our work; some of which will be on sale. I’ve had two of my stories printed at Meticulous Ink, a fine printing and stationary company in Bath. Meticulous Ink specialise in exquisite traditional printing methods, including letterpress. I only needed digital prints this time around, but I’ve been salivating over their letterpress products for quite some time. Storyslingers will definitely be getting some of our work letterpress printed in the future.

My digital prints came beautifully packaged. I felt like a very spoilt child at a birthday party when I unwrapped these goodies. Amazing!

I designed an invitation style flyer to promote our table at the festival, which I got printed at the same time; all three on lovely posh 300mg. I’m thrilled with them. They look fantastic, very professional and slick.
