Masterclass: Writing with the Senses

Masterclass: Writing with the Senses

Literary InstituteEgham, England
Sunday, May 31, 2026 from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm GMT+1
Overview

Learn to write with the sense, to create poetry that leaps from the page!

Great poems don’t just sit on the page; they move, sting, hum, and linger.

Writing with the Senses is an immersive masterclass designed to help you reconnect with sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, and use them to create poetry that feels alive. Through guided prompts and playful exercises, you’ll learn how to translate physical experience into language that leaps from the page and lands vividly in the reader’s mind.

In this session, you’ll explore:

  • How to sharpen your sensory awareness
  • Turning ordinary moments into rich poetic material
  • Writing images that feel textured, grounded, and real
  • Moving beyond abstract language into lived experience

Whether you’re new to poetry or looking to deepen your craft, this workshop will expand how you observe the world and how you write about it.

Sensory. Imaginative. Energising.
Come ready to feel, notice, and write.
