Thursday 22nd May - 10:30am to 4:00pm
Join us this spring to explore the wonderfully wild Forest of Bowland for observation, conversation, reflection and a guided creative writing workshop in the middle of Gisburn Forest – Lancashire’s largest expanse of woodland.
Learn how to look deeply at the natural world and record thoughts and feelings on paper or on your tablet. Get tips on blogging, digital photography, starting a nature diary and bringing it altogether in a regular journal.
This workshop takes place in an idyllic rural location with direct access to woodlands and meadows and is led by Mark Sutcliffe, a former editor of Country Walking and Lakeland Walker magazines and a regular contributor to some of the UK’s leading outdoor magazines – including Countryfile, Landscape and Country Living.
Much of the course content will take place outdoors, but participants will have full access to toilets and indoor spaces throughout the day.
Mark will offer mentoring and guidance on finding your voice, fieldwork and observation, pace and structure and – perhaps most importantly – getting started and establishing a writing habit.
This course is designed to help aspiring writers develop their own distinctive voice and style with a mix of observation, reflection, conversation and mentoring. It is suitable for writers who want to use tablets to capture and tell their stories and those who prefer more traditional techniques such as sketching and making field notes in a nature diary.
Suitable for adults and accompanied older children.
£45 per person
