The Scriptorium: Enchanted Writing – Workshop

For those drawn to creating their own magical writing, old literature and folklore provide a treasure trove of inspiration.

In this creative workshop, a seasoned storyteller teaches participants how to mine these bewitching materials to produce their own tales of wonder. Materials explored will include ancient spells, grimoires, faerie lore, charms and even Shakespeare’s magic. There will also be a retelling of an ancient tale of enchantment, after which participants will be invited to create their own pieces using prompts, free writing and timed exercises. Note: there will be no sharing of work, so attendees are free to explore and experiment with their ideas safely.

Ideal for anyone interested in the power of words, this workshop is equally suitable for experienced and new writers. By the end of it, everyone will have a new means of drawing inspiration for enchanted writing and some practice in the art.
