CREATIVE WRITING with Annie Wilson

A change is in the air from the long days of our warm dry summer and evident on the morning grass. With the transitioning season comes a new series of four monthly Creative Writing workshops with Annie Wilson at Florence. You will create three or four pieces of writing at each one. A wide variety of stimuli in a structured but informal atmosphere will be used to inspire your words, on the theme of CREATURE. 

Whether you write regularly or you haven’t since leaving school, you are very welcome. All experience will be valued. Sessions are fun and serious. 

A great deal of research shows the benefit to our wellbeing of mindful, creative activity, such as writing in a group. You will certainly grow in confidence. 

Each workshop stands alone though you may experience greater benefit from attending all 4.

Wednesdays, 1 – 3 pm. Dates: September 24th, October 22nd, November 26th, December 17th.

Annie’s original degree was in Drama Education. She has delivered a wide variety of Community Education courses through the WEA (Workers’ Educational Association) around Cumbria and beyond, with a special interest in mental health. Her freelance work has been facilitating Creative Writing in Community and Recovery settings. Her aim is for individuals to develop their writing practice in a secure group setting which gives pleasure and may lead to fulfilling independent writing. Annie lives in Cleator Moor.
