About the workshop:
Join us for Spirited Words, a special 30th anniversary write-in at Big River Distilling. This relaxed, light-hearted gathering is for MARION members of all levels, whether you’re a seasoned storyteller or just dipping your pen for the first time.
Guests will be served a signature Big River cocktail (with a mocktail option available). That drink becomes the spark for your words, guiding you into playful, free-flowing writing.
And at the centre of it all? The one and only Craig Cormick — author, raconteur, and mischievous master of ceremonies. Craig will be your ringleader for the evening, nudging, cheering, and coaxing you through bursts of writing. He might even tempt a few brave souls to share their creations at the end. Expect laughter, encouragement, and a night where creativity flows as freely as the gin.
