Writing Workshops

Fun and interactive creative writing workshops for everyone – from absolute beginners to experienced, published authors.

Christine Betts has a passion for writing and loves nothing more than sharing this love with others. The unique workshops inspire authors of all genres and levels of experience to experiment and have fun.


Christine Betts has facilitated ekphrastic writing workshops at HOTA Gallery for the past two years. She is an engaging and inspiring guide, encouraging participants to look closely, think deeply, and let artworks spark their imagination. With a thoughtful and inclusive approach, Christine creates a supportive space where writers of all levels can experiment with language, develop their voice, and craft unique responses to art.
