Wednesday evenings, 6pm to 8pm

In the lead up to spring equinox, this eight-week course will help you develop a writing practice centred on the natural world, whether you are a seasoned writer or just starting out. What does it mean to embed nature at the heart of our work? How might the written word be uncivilised and rewilded? What is the role of writers in a time of ecological collapse? How to write in relationship with the non-human world around us?

Through discussions, practical exercises and focused writing assignments you will learn how to shape the material you gather into structured pieces of writing, from initial drafts to finished, edited pieces. Come with a notebook and a pen, but most importantly an openness to learning from the natural world.

Dates: 29/01/2025 - 02/04/2025

Please note there will be no classes 19 February (half term) or 26 March (reading week).

Location: Room G.H03, University of Bristol Arts Complex, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1TB
