Creative Exchange Cardigan is blowing the winter cobwebs away with a week of award-winning professional arts, crafts, writing and media workshops and talks.

This week of creative events will take place from Sunday, January 29, to Saturday, February 4, at the Corn Exchange in Cardigan.

There will be multiple events daily to power your creative drive, knowledge and talents, hidden or otherwise.

Conducted by award-winning industry professionals, the series of arts, crafts, writing and maker workshops include:

l A charity draw-a-thon to raise money for the RNLI Cardigan Lifeboat Station.

l Supercharge your painting with a class on how to use scumbelling, shaving and dopey-ropey to give your paintings energy, life and vibrancy

l For aspiring authors there will be workshops on writing, novels, screenplays and factual work.

During these workshops, would-be authors can discover how to get paid to be a writer, how the industry really works and how to find your true writer’s voice. You will also be able to learn how to promote your work and reach your audience with social media

For painters and artists there will be a workshop entitled Painting with intent: Finding your Spirit Voice.

This workshop is aimed at creating harmonious and blessed works from the inner you
