I now have a separate website for workshops, courses, and mentoring:
I am happy to be emailed with enquiries, but pleased check out Ink & Oak Tree for more information. Thank you!
Workshops
I offer day workshops for groups of up to fifteen
individuals, which are tailored to your interests and include a range
of activities. We will explore our subject matter thoroughly,
beginning with generative exercises to kick start our creativity, and
progressing through various approaches that ensure you will leave
with not only several new pieces of work, but an understanding of the
processes behind that work, that you can put into practise as part of
your own creative process.
Recent topics for workshops have included
Landscape and Memory, Ekphrastic Poetry, Poetry and the Landscape,
and The Poet Abroad, which dealt with how to approach writing poetry
about other cultures respectfully and without cultural appropriation.
Creative Mentoring
I also offer a one-to-one creative mentoring
service. If you would like to work towards a specific goal with
an experienced writer and editor, or feel that your creative output
is flagging and needs more wide-ranging input, please get in contact
to discuss a program that would suit you.
Past projects include helping to edit a first
novel, helping to find the right order for a collection of poems
before it was submitted to publishers, working with bloggers to find
a consistent tone, and individual workshops designed to foster
creativity for mental health. I am happy to work with you in
person or online.
Testimonials
"Not
a moment was wasted despite the relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. She
got us started with engaging prompts and followed up with a variety
of stimulating and thought-provoking exercises. We relished her
encouraging comments and came away with useful techniques and a crop
of poems to work on later."
"Without
a doubt, the best creative writing workshop I have attended.
Inspiring and dynamic."
"Rhiannon Hooson was tremendously supportive
when I attended her workshop on ekphrastic poetry. Despite the
paradox, as a blind person I love to respond to visual images, and
Rhiannon described all the images that I needed to respond to. It was
a warm and friendly session and I gained a lot of new ideas and
learned several new techniques from attending." Giles
