Voiceworks magazine presents Ob-Session number 1 - Missionary (which just happens to be the next Voiceworks theme). Come to this workshop to find inspiration, to meet other writers or to help your piece stand out from the rest. Talk about your work, write from idea generating exercises and get inspired.

Once an abandoned train signal box, Signal is now the exciting new arts studio, designed exclusively to help the creative ideas of 13-20 year olds flourish into something more.

Signal now boasts a workshop space, a small computer hub and a multipurpose space in addition to Les Erdi Plaza, an arena for live events and state of the art projective windows for multimedia works.

In conjunction with Signal, Express Media are conducting a series of exciting free workshops and panels for 13-18 year olds. These programs have been thoughtfully designed to provide useful advice and opportunities for young creative types. Workshops will be covering topics from zine making to blogging, poetry and short stories to journalism.

By working with a range of professional artists in workshops, young people involved with Signal will be able to have their ideas realised and celebrated.

The next workshop, “The Way To Blog: how to make your blog stand out from the rest" with Karen Andrews will be held on Wednesday 10 February from 5-7pm.

A panel session - The Future of Reading featuring Karen Andrews, Louise Swinn and Angela Meyer will be held straight after (7.30-8.30).
