Monday to Wednesday
This course is for those who have not yet had the confidence to start on book making or creative
writing and is embarrassment free - no reading out for group criticism! It has two parts which work
perfectly together. First I teach you a foolproof method of moving from an empty mind to a full page.
We work on poetry, narrative, and journals. Then each day also includes the learning of a different
simple, but ingenious book structure (each of which leads to endless variations). The day's writing
fits this, with attention paid to the design of the book as a whole, and so you create a series of
little books. Everyone will take home clear instruction sheets, lots of samples, some beautifully
finished books containing writing to be proud of, ideas on how to move forward, and lots of confidence.
