WEEKLY ONLINE WORKSHOP

A WRITING LIFE

Start your Friday morning creatively – join us for an energising workshop filled with imaginative writing prompts and based on a new theme each week.

What to expect

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

As writers, we know that holding space for creativity in our busy lives is a gift to ourselves. We’ve learnt that coming together each week is a source of joy and inspiration.

Every Friday morning we set aside an hour to write together – drawing inspiration from art and nature, and exploring new tactics and techniques.

Dip into a session that interests you, sign up for a monthly subscription, or give someone the gift of time in which to dream, think and write. 

Pricing: £15 per session, or £45 per month for unlimited sessions.

“Brilliant. It unlocked a long held wish to write – it gave me directions and ideas, and the energy of the group was inspiring.”

Sue (February 2024)

AN HOUR TO WRITE TOGETHER

water

It’s a watery time of year – dripping with rain, swirling with mists, churning with floods. Water in literature is a potent symbol, often used to shape character, create atmosphere or bring a theme to the surface. We’ll draw on famous examples to inspire watery writings of our own.

shadows

The dark mornings at the end of the year are full of shadows. Lean with us into the uncanny sense that comes from what we barely see – what we never quite touch. Maybe it’s the half-remembered past, the beckoning fingers of the future… or simply what’s down your garden path.

HOME

“People are made of places,” writes the Canadian poet Elizabeth Brewster. We’ll be thinking about what makes a home, and how places shape us.

WANDERING

In the words of JR Tolkien, “not all those who wander are lost.” Today we will look at poetry and prose that wanders with purpose. Our own writing will meander and ramble; it will slip down side alleys and follow will-o’-the-wisps.

holiday

Join us for a very special session. We’ll read poems and passages that celebrate past Christmases, solstices, Hanukkahs and other holidays.  We’ll reflect on the year  and celebrate creative moments. We’ll write together.
