’My Sydney Writer’s Workshops’

'My Sydney Writer’s Workshops'

When: Thursday 27 November 2015. 

Type: Workshop. 

The workshop was led by writer Cathy Craigie with assistance from the Indigenous Services team and the Sydney Story Factory, to celebrate Corroboree 2014. The 'My Sydney Workshop' got young students  to interact with colonial Aboriginal Sydney objects in the State Library’s collection such as Maps Of Port Jackson, Cora Gooseberry’s breastplate and rum mug, and a historic sexton to give them inspiration to write poems and short stories.
