Join Tom and Sophie for a day of sound walks and creative writing in the beautiful surrounds of Pathhead, Midlothian and their cosy cottage. Sound designer Tom will guide you through the woods and fields walking on the recently-built local path network, (all easy walking terrain,) bringing your attention to the myriad of sounds that fill the air. On return to the cottage Sophie will invite you to explore your imagination and freshly stirred senses through creative writing exercises and time and space to develop ideas, whether prose, poetry, memoir, song lyric – wherever your imagination and senses carry you. There will be opportunities to share your writing and receive constructive feedback and creative writing guidance if wanted.
The day is approximately 5 hours long, 11.00am – 4.00pm, including a mid-session break for homemade vegetarian soup and bread.
