In this class, Emma will teach you six ways to create and develop convincing settings of time and place, using music, photography, extracts from literature and artworks to help inspire you.
The session will be informal and supportive and an opportunity for you to meet like-minded people. There will be plenty of time to write and try out ideas. You will be given a course booklet to work with and take away with you.
Emma is a teacher with 28 years’ experience, and she is passionate about helping people develop their creativity.
