Enhance your creative skills this summer

If you’re looking to learn something new or develop your creative skills, then we think that we can help!

We’re running two new practical workshops for beginners and those with experience, to improve their painting or writing techniques, or maybe even both!

Our practical writing workshop with Philippa Davies will involve moving around Milford Waterfront for inspiration for prose and poetry exercises to create writing which is clear, vivid and evocative.

Philippa has had 11 books published, fiction and non-fiction, and has also written for radio and TV. ‘Irresistibility’ was serialised by The Times, and her novel ‘The Gritties’ was turned into a double Wales BAFTA winning film.

The workshop will look at descriptive writing which shows not tells, character reveals through setting, and using personal reactions to dramatize your writing.

You’ll have scope to come up with completely new ideas or develop existing ones, and you’ll go home with three contrasting pieces of work.

Our painting workshop with qualified and experienced artist and tutor, Madeline Francis will teach you the basics of painting with acrylics. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your unique creative style in a beautiful setting, and a fun and relaxed environment.

Each workshop costs £30 and includes refreshments and a light lunch.
