Workshops from Jawbone

These writing workshops provide a safe space to inspire participants to delve into their creativity, gain confidence, and find their own unique voice. Each workshop will involve a variety of methods and exercises to inspire and motivate. Whilst some may feel comfortable sharing their writing, it is not necessary in order to take part. We offer a fun and supportive creative space in a beautiful environment. By partnering with published South-West writers we are able to give you different perspectives on the world and enhance your workshop and learning experience.

For the third workshop in our 2024 series, we are partnering with with Kate Gold, a poet and artist who lives on the edge of Dartmoor. We published her first collection in September 2022- Eight Buzzards Rising. An amazing collection that connects you with the magic in nature and the landscape that surrounds her.

We are finalising the details of this event at the moment, we have our planning meeting on the 22nd of August, details will follow but we promise to bring you an inspiring and challenging event that will use myth, magic and landscape to draw out your own magical tales.

The workshop will take place in the beautiful surroundings of Othona in The Four Seasons Studio on the Coast Road near Burton Bradstock.

There is no ticket, you will be sent a confirmation and details via e-mail the week before the event.
