Course description

A picture can say a thousand words - a fun, friendly and structured approach to aid you in finding inspiration, putting pen paper and get writing. Every picture tells a story, so we put the focus on getting creative as inspired by a variety of pictures (ideally taken by yourself with a different theme to prompt us each session). We apply some key hints, tricks and craft to our writing which could be fact, fiction or somewhere in between - we use our own creativity by putting pen to paper. What happens when we look really closely at a picture, say, a crowd of people, might their own stories to be found in the background? Might a picture evoke a particular mood or emotion- where might these words lead us? Does a picture evoke a certain memory or period in time/history? And what of those pictures where things don’t appear quite as they are? Each session taking inspiration from your own and or the images taken by others – all to a specific theme or phrase, there will be a varied mix of group discussion and tasks with plenty of time for individual writing – hopefully taking advantage of a ‘summer’ theme?
