About this Event

About our workshop:

We will explore a different theme each week, taking inspiration from a variety of media including photography, painting, architecture, articles and, of course, poetry. Everyone should leave the session with the beginnings of several poems and plenty of prompts to develop further.

Sharing and inviting constructive criticism of your work is an excellent way to build confidence, spark new ideas and prepare work for publication.

Join us in the cosy, inspiring setting of Morocco Bound where delicious tea, wine, beer and soft drinks are available from the bar while you write. As this is an evening class, please feel free to bring a snack if you are on-the-go.

Schedule

Each workshop will roughly consist of:

6:30-6:40pm - welcome and time to grab a drink 6:40-7:00pm - warm-up exercise and discussion 7:00-7:30pm - reading and analysis of poems 7:30-7:45pm - break

7:45-8:15pm - writing exercises

8:15-9:00pm - workshopping, editing, socialising
