About this event
Lineworks: Weekly Poetry Workshop
A weekly writing workshop for anyone wanting to deepen their creative thinking and explore what poetry can do. Open to all levels.
What to Expect
Each session focuses on a core poetic element—image, line, tone, metaphor, and more—through writing exercises, group reading, and honest, supportive feedback.
You’ll get a broad overview of essential techniques and approaches. It’s not about mastering everything at once, but sparking new awareness—so you leave with more tools, sharper instincts, and a deeper sense of what your writing can do.
Atmosphere
Relaxed, focused, and welcoming. No egos, no pressure, just a space to explore and develop your writing with others.
Venue & Access
The workshop is currently set to take place at Hanover Community Centre, just past The Geese and The Greys Freehouse pubs, up Southover Street—steep hill alert!
The workshop room is a cosy space on the first floor, accessible by stairs only (no lift).
Depending on other bookings in the centre, access to the room may vary—arrive a few minutes early, and I’ll met you at the main entrance and shown the way.

Frequently asked questions
Not at all. Everyone’s welcome. If you’re new, great! You might bring fresh eyes. And if you’ve written before, there’s still more to uncover.
Roughly 1 hour 45 minutes, with a short break to stretch and recharge.
Whatever you like to write with—pen and notebook, laptop, stone tablet. That said, paper and pens will be there if you forget.
Yes. Each session stands on its own, even if there’s a through-line. And if you miss one, the materials can always be provided to help you dive back in.
It’s a small group max 10 people. Enough for variety, but still personal.
Yes, but it’s not homework. Think of it as invitations to write and think between sessions—totally optional.
Yes! Sharing is always encouraged but never forced. Feedback is honest and kind—meant to build you up, not knock you down.
We’ll explore different styles and techniques, focusing on writing first, but also we’ll look into poems by others to see how they work and maybe borrow some tricks.
