Session Details
I prefer small groups when facilitating creative writing workshops and masterclasses, ideally groups of 6 – 8 work best with younger children and groups of maximum of 12 with teenagers. A reading and Q & A can be provided to larger groups of older pupils and tend to be suited to those in post-primary schools. I have good experience working with artists in other art forms, such as photography, visual arts and music and composition and particularly like sustained larger scale projects when possible.
