Calling all poets and creative writers! Chichester Copywriter has arranged for award-winning poet Denise Bennett to provide a Creative Writing Day at Cobnor, nr Chichester, on 12th November, 2011.
Wordsmiths can enjoy a full day of creative writing workshops with Denise Bennett (Planting the Snow Queen, Oversteps Books, 2011) who has an MA in Creative Writing. Denise not only runs creative writing and poetry workshops in the Chichester and Portsmouth area but she is also secretary of Portsmouth Poetry Society.
The Creative Writing Day will consist of a number of taster workshops, such as:
Diamonds of the Dust Heap: A workshop designed to gather ideas, looking at: notebooks/journals/chapters of your life. Considering also spaces and places to write.
Opening Pandora’s Box: Please bring a small item to this session e.g. a glove, baby shoe, necklace or ornament. Who knows what story one item could lead us to?
How Are Poems Made? Looking at the structure of poetry: from form and language to rhyme and rhythm.
Gateways/Barriers/Doors: Using imagery as a starting point for a story or poem. We’ll start with an image and see where it takes us.
Arriving from 9.00 am, guests will have the chance to meet fellow wordsmiths and enjoy a coffee amidst the beautiful surroundings of Cobnor Activities Centre, based in Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Workshops will begin at 9.30 and run throughout the day, allowing guests time to enjoy free-writing and complete motivational writing exercises set by Denise.
Places on the Creative Writing Day cost £65 per person, including lunch and refreshments. There are just 12 places available so that wordsmiths can get the most out of the sessions. Please contact Katy@ChichesterCopywriter.co.uk or call 01243 533421 to find out more or to book your place today.
