Journey into the imaginative space of the gallery in this five-week course, where we will craft new poems based on paintings, sculptures, and other artworks. This mode of writing is known as 'ekphrasis' - the literary representation of visual representation – and we will experiment with the encounter between the visual and the verbal. Our emphasis will be on curiosity and close looking as we seek to translate works of art into text, creating poems responding to everything from photographs to pastel works, from ceramics to wearable artworks.
A notebook/writing paper and a pen.
Please note: All 10, and 12 week courses have a half term break in the middle. For term dates please visit our Contact us page. We are not open on bank holiday Mondays and any class that falls on these days will be made up at the end of term.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
