Warwick Workshops
Please click here to download a full programme of our current Autumn 2011- Spring 2012 Warwick Workshops.
These workshops, based in the tranquil surroundings of the Wattlewood
Room at St John’s Museum in Warwick, are designed for all levels of
experience and aim to increase your confidence in your poetry writing skills. Each workshop covers a range of topics and themes to inspire and fire your imagination, and also introduces poetic forms, techniques and methods.
The workshops provide support and encouragement with the redrafting process of the poems you create, with advice from two experienced editors, poets and workshop tutors, Jane Commane and Matt Nunn of Nine Arches Press.
Poetry Day Schools are included as part of each ‘module’ of the programme, and these day-long sessions allow poets to immerse themselves and focus on one poetry technique or method and finely hone their creative instincts.
Special Offer: Book all twelve workshops for just £210. Or, book a module (one Poetry Day School and three afternoon workshops) for £72.
Spaces on these workshops are limited and must be booked in advance. To book a place, please download a booking form here and post or email the form to us.
