Pocklington Arts Centre workshop

Pocklington Arts Centre @PocklingtonArts was our venue on Saturday for a writers workshop - we spent some time exploring story structure before delving a bit deeper into those writing skills such as sensory detail, synaesthesia and lifting and expanding sentences.


Some feedback from delegates:

'As one new to writing I found it informative, relaxed, encouraging.'

'Did not know what to expect... I very much enjoyed the session; feel inspired to write... I must avoid cliches! Lots of helpful tips.'

'Loved the workshop, very relaxed and collaborative, supportive atmosphere. Will definitely attend more.'

Well you'll be really welcome - thanks, all, for making it such a great morning.

Room

Last weekend's workshop @YorkExplore was great fun - we took the idea of a room from our past as a starting point, then played with descriptive writing, working with colour and mood. Some beautiful pieces written in response. A few feedback comments:

'I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing'.
'The teacher was very approachable and extremely encouraging. I didn't feel under pressure at all. Very pleased'.
'The thing I liked most: tools and strategies to use when writing - actual writing and feedback. Encouragement! Knowledge from Ali the tutor'.
'Ali is good'.

Thanks to delegates for their positive comments - we aim to please!
