This course is an opportunity to delve into the woods and along the walkways surrounding Crieff, taking time to adjust to the natural sights and sounds and to savour the experience.

On at least three of the days we will begin with a walk, during which you will be encouraged to collect mementos, take photographs, make field notes, draw or write anything which comes to mind. You may, of course, wish just to walk in silence. If the weather permits, we may do a little writing in situ.

If you are planning to attend this workshop in Crieff, please take the following link to the Galvelmore House Site which offers further information about the location, course accommodation and an inclusive B&B price.

natural papers collecting from the woods

After each morning break, we will gather together for a gentle and informal creative writing session, devised to give you a voice with which to express and reflect upon your experiences during the walk. These writing sessions are entirely voluntary and at no time will you be asked to share your work with the group. For those of you who do not wish to join in, there will be plenty of work on this theme by other writers available for you to read and enjoy.

The afternoons will be given over to the soothing processes associated with printing and book-making. You will make hand-made paper, using gathered materials, do collage and printing, all of which will lead up to the construction of a hand-bound, illustrated journal: a tactile presentation of your very own words from the wood .
