Tolquhon Studio Workshop

Creative Writing Workshops
September to November 2010

We are delighted to announce the Tolquhon Workshops have expanded in 2010 to include a Creative Writing Workshop, led by the Press & Journal Arts Critic and columnist Roddy Phillips.   

The first collection of Roddy’s P&J column ‘The Familiar’ was published by Black & White in July 2009 and you can find out more about him at his website – roddyphillips.com

The workshop courses take a student-centred approach to creative writing, offering a range of strategies to help you develop as a writer.  The courses are held in the Udny Green workshop and are suitable for aspiring writers and for anyone with a strong interest in reading and writing, who would like to deepen their understanding of the creative process.  

A wide range of genres are covered, including: fiction, poetry, drama, journalism and life writing. Participants are encouraged to produce work each week and they receive appropriate and constructive feedback.

There are two Creative Writing classes, one on Tuesday afternoons and one on Thursday evenings. Each runs for 10 weeks.  The afternoon classes will begin on Tuesday 14 September and run until Tuesday 30 November from 2.15 pm to 4.15 pm.  The evening classes will begin on Thursday 16 September and run until Thursday 2 December from 7.15 pm to 9.15 pm .  There will be a two week break from 11 - 22 October when the Aberdeenshire Schools are on holiday. 

The fee for either class is £111.
