Date & Time
This 4-session workshop features a highly original teaching method George perfected in America's Pacific Northwest, stimulating your writing through exercises bases on re-discovering and using your imaginative and word-play skills. The basis of this workshop is to rekindle your ability to play with language and practice your skill at triggering ideas for new poems. As a four week course, the workshop also includes the additional element of editing and fine turning poems. All presented in a friendly group setting.
"A fantastic workshop that bounces with energy. I loved the immediacy of it, playing word games, brainstorming ideas, modeling off others, writing for a few minutes and instantly feeding it back to the group" - Sarah Miller
"The best results I've received from any of the many workshops I've organized" - Linda Graham
