Steve and Emma’s workshop

FRIDAY November 25th 10.30 – 1.00

 

Join Steve and Emma for a unique writing workshop

Writing people and place: making the ordinary, extraordinary.

Followed by a light lunch at The Bakehouse.

A unique opportunity to work with two experienced workshop leaders who love what they do.  Both award winning poets from the English Black Country, whose respective work often focuses on the people, place, language and landscape of their post industrial region.  Join them for a morning of fun and friendly creative writing activities designed to get you thinking about your place and your people.  You will be invited to experiment with a couple of poetry forms, find wonder in the world around you, and make new work based upon close observance of everyday lives.

BAKINGS ONLINE MAGAZINE

Bakings is The Bakehouse’s new online literary magazine – poems submitted by invitation alongside recordings of featured poets from previous Bakehouse events. Trawl through the site to find fine poetry from Scotland and beyond alongside film poems and illustrations. We’ll be sending videos out  intermittently to a growing national and international database. Videos have been filmed by artist Ken Smyth at The Bakehouse, or submitted courtesy of various clever folk on personal technology. Enjoy.
