This summer we're running three creative writing workshops for young people aged 11-16 and there won’t be a worksheet in sight! Just imagination, games, discussion and inspiring writing prompts that make ideas impossible to switch off. If your child spends their life reading, doodling stories, making up characters, gaming, daydreaming or asking "what if...?", they'll fit right in.
We'll be building believable characters, writing poetry that doesn't have to rhyme, creating strange new worlds, and discovering that English is actually fun.
Led by specialist English teacher Kia Went, who has 20 years' teaching experience, these workshops are designed with neurodivergence at their heart. Relaxed, low-demand and SEND-friendly, they help young people grow in confidence, develop real GCSE English Language skills and, most importantly, discover the joy of writing.
📚 Story Makers – Wednesday 29th July
✍️ Poetry Playground – Wednesday 5th August
👾 Writing the Weird – Wednesday 26th August
10am-11.30am
£17.50 per workshop or all three for £45.

You will learn to use a blow torch to fire the clay and where needed you will learn to solder silver studs and/or jump rings. We will then polish the items either by hand or in the tumbler to make them nice and shiny! Items that go in the tumbler may need collection at a later date.
All materials and tuition included. As there are hazardous tools using such as saws and blow torches this workshop is recommended for adults, however responsible young adults ages 16 and 17 can also take part with a parent - both parent and child will need tickets.
