About

We are running some poetry workshops!! We say workshops loosely- it's more of a space to write, connect and share safely with a little bit of structure and some poetry pundits thrown in for good measure. The premise is simple- three evening workshops (one a week) and one performance night. Whether you write regularly or not at all, practise, not perfection, is the destination here. But practice can be a scary concept when we only value picture-perfect. It can be easier when we practise with other people, when we share our stories. No one puts pen to paper for the first time and produces a masterpiece. In a world laser-focused on the final product, the importance of process can be forgotten. Life is all the parts in between. For the performance evening/ sharing soiree, you can perform a piece or two to an audience and invite people you love to cheer you on. We'll be making a little book of the group's poetry to sell at the event, and all proceeds from the Zine will go to Charity. 23/09/25: Workshop 1- Facilitated by Grace and Maggie from Big Joy Events 30/09/25: Workshop 2- Facilitated by Grace and Maggie from Big Joy Events 07/10/25: Workshop 3 - Facilitated by Katie Dunstan and Héloïse de Satgé from Poetry Pharmacy 17/10/25: Reading/Performance Night with Friends and Family £85, more info: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/practise-makes-poetry-tickets-1657082591639
