Creative Writing Workshop: The Poetry of Observation

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something…To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, — all in one.

John Ruskin

 

Join us for an afternoon poetry workshop inspired by the beautiful surroundings of Elizabeth Gaskell’s House. Taking inspiration from John Ruskin’s ideas about observation, and in honour of our Ruskin exhibition, you will use the exquisite features of the House and garden to write original pieces of poetry based on focused contemplation. Led by poet Rachel Sills, the 3-hour workshop will include the opportunity to explore the House, and to share your work (if you like) for feedback.

 

Afternoon workshop, 1-4pm

Ticket: £25
