Celebrating People: Adults Poetry writing workshop at Colston Hall Workshop Space 2

A event on Sunday 17th May. The event starts at 16:30.


This event is part of Good Grief Bristol, A Festival of Love and Loss. 11-17 May 2020 (https://goodgriefbristol.com/).

Portrait poet Beth Calverley specialises in expressing the essence of real people. In this poetry writing workshop for adults, Beth will guide you through some simple steps to summon up a beautiful poem of your own.

Everyone is welcome, from complete beginners to well-versed writers. All you need to bring is a notebook and pen, Beth will help with the rest. You'll be using people you know as inspiration, creating poetic portraits that celebrate the people in our lives who bring us joy. You’ll leave the workshop feeling inspired and refreshed, with a new piece of writing to remember the experience.

"Every poem was special to each and every one that you wrote for. You have certainly opened my eyes to poetry and its positive power.” – Anne
