THE LANTERN WRITERS
A new venture, The Lantern Writers, is an opportunity to develop your pursuit of writing with an informal and friendly group with guided exercises to assist you to broaden your freedom of skills to write creatively.
A wide range of genres will be explored and techniques shared, with lots of opportunity to socialise your writing in a supportive way with a focus on the enjoyment of writing.
Unlocking the potential for story telling lies at the heart of the group, creating characters, nurturing imagination, working on narrative, plot structure, poetic expression and above all your own unique voice.
Creative writing is a good and safe way to express emotions and explore ideas. Many people find it builds empathy by exploring different perspectives and exploring sometimes complex thoughts and feelings.
Best of all, creative writing is there for everyone. No skills are required other than a pen and pad, or laptop, and an open mind and heart.
Bookings are now open for The Lantern Writers group Spring term 2025 which runs from Fri 17th January - Fri 28th March 2025 (10 sessions, no session on Fri 21st Feb) 3-5pm. The course fee is £70.
To reserve your place please email us on lac@lanternarts.org and we will send you the details. We will reply to your email as soon as possible, but please note we work part-time, and only a skeleton staff will be at the LAC over the Christmas break (the office will be back to normal opening hours on Mon 6th Jan).
Your place is not secured until you have paid the course fee and filled in the form with your details. Please note the course fee is non-refundable.
