Avoncroft Writing Workshop with Claire Walker

Following my London trip, I was delighted to have a place on Claire Walker’s Writing Workshop at Avoncroft.

It was a beautiful sunny morning too. The tickets were all sold and I met writers from Malvern and the surrounding area. Mark William’s Dad was there and Polly Robinson, who I  partnered up with for an activity. Great fun (and biscuits) were had by all.

I would love to run workshops like this and it is firmly written in my future plan. Claire was a great facilitator, calm and well prepared. The activities she chose were wonderfully creative and a joy to gain writing from. I am not going into detail in case she wishes to repeat the programme again. It was relaxed and worth every penny. We had the perfect amount of time to write balanced with space to share our writing if we wanted.

Amongst the writing that came from it, I have a poem ‘And in the Rockery Lay a Tiny Cup’ from the mixed bag activity, I am pleased with the end result and it hasn’t needed too much polishing or editing either.
