Jane concentrated on Elizabeth Spence Watson and the archival material foundĀ  in a number of archives in the region as well as online. Participants were given audio recorders and camera’s and asked to bring with them for the second workshop writing, recordings and objects that relate to and are inspired by the writing and letters of Elizabeth. Some of the participants brought old family wedding photographs, photos of their children, recordings of them singing songs, and walking journals and maps. These were brought together with the archive material to create a new and extended archive. DSC_0634 WomenEvent_8 WomenEvent_9 DSC_0692
