Many guests at Peralta have asked if we would be having a writing course. The idea seemed excellent and so it seemed obvious to ask Jan Marsh because she has written Fiore's biography.

We feel very fortunate to be able to offer a week's workshop under her tuition.

JAN MARSH
Biographer, author of the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood, The Legend of Elizabeth Siddal, Bloomsbury Women, Pre-Raphaelite Women Artists and biographies of Dante Gabriel and Christina Rossetti. She has also been involved with a number of television documentaries and major art exhibitions. Between 2001 and 2003 she has been the Royal Literary Fund Writing Tutor at Queen Mary University of London. She has recently published the life story of sculptor Fiore de Henriquez.

The workshops will cover all aspects of technique and editing and will be tailored to the needs of members of the group. Advice can also be given, if required, on agents and publication. We welcome beginners as well as experienced writers.

Workshops will take place in Casa Nuova which has wonderful views across the valley to the Mediterranean. Fiore originally restored this house for her own use and so it is full of her books, sculpture and has a very original interior.
