In this class, Emma will teach you six ways to create and develop convincing settings of time and place, using music, photography, extracts from literature and artworks to help inspire you.
The session will be informal and supportive and an opportunity for you to meet like-minded people. There will be plenty of time to write and try out ideas. You will be given a course booklet to work with and take away with you.
Emma is a teacher with 28 years’ experience, and she is passionate about helping people develop their creativity.
Previous students who came to Emma’s previous, ‘How to establish and develop settings’ classes have commented:
‘The breakdown of the different techniques to build place was excellent and helped to develop my understanding and break down the fear to get going!’ Lynda
‘Amazing and inspiring as always.’ Wendy
‘Emma’s teaching style is excellent and she really enables learning. She made me feel this is something that I can explore and develop.’ Rachel
Who would enjoy this course?
The class is suitable for those new to creative writing as well as people with some experience who are looking to develop their skills. It will take place in the Blue Room at Rheged, a calm, contemporary space that allows for creative thinking.
There is unlimited complementary tea and coffee and water available, and you will be able to help yourself throughout the morning.
You are welcome to write on a device such as a laptop or a notepad/paper and your favourite pen or pencil.
