Getting Started With Creative Writing

Description of Class

The course will be in two four week blocks with a two week break (25 October & 1 November). Last session is on 29 November. “Getting word out of the beehive of the head and onto the reality of paper is a form of clarification.” In each of these afternoons sessions we’ll use the stimulus of listening to a short piece of writing - whether poetry or prose - to inspire us to write ourselves. Over the course, we will have an opportunity to build a momentum of our own creative writing practice through writing, editing and feedback. This course would suit you if you are new to creative writing and want to explore its possibilities, or if you have done a little creative writing, and would like a refresher. Your tutor Subhadassi has had a wide experience of running creative writing workshops over many years, and in a variety of locations - from the wilds of Northumberland to the centre of Tokyo. he is a buddhist, a poet, a father, a creative facilitator, a walker, a wild camper, a photographer…though of course there’s much more to it than that! Testimonials "Excellent facilitation, structure and creativity. Warmth and humour" Jenny, Brighton "Inspirational ideas, new ways of seeing" Jenni, Hove "Gentle introduction. Supportive." There is a concession available for this course for people: Under 25's, over 65's or in full time unemployment.
