Creative Writing Workshops By Sharon Massey
Series of 4 workshops – Saturday 2.30pm – 4.00pm on the following dates – 12/9, 10/10, 7/11, 12/12.
10 participants maximum.
The aim is to stimulate the imaginative flow, increase self-confidence about putting pen to paper and develop a unique writerly ‘voice’ in a safe environment that promotes freedom of creative expression.
Sharon runs her workshops as a form of Ensemble writing. Participants write, read out, (if they’re comfortable in doing so) and feedback on each other’s work. This is a completely non-judgmental practice, so we don’t comment on the work in the qualitative (or quantitative) elements of each other’s writing.
Each workshop has a theme and a trigger word to get the imaginative juices flowing. There are usually about 5 main tasks per session; each one leading to a development of the last based on sentences shared and feedback.
All styles are welcome, from poetry to prose, diary and dramatic dialogue.
