The Joy of Ekphrasis: Discovering Inspiration for Writing in Art (4-Week Live Workshop)

£125.00

The Joy of Ekphrasis is a 4-week live writing workshop that uses art as a direct engine for fresh drafts. Each week you’ll write from specific artworks using structured prompts that cut through overthinking and produce usable material quickly.

You’ll leave with multiple new drafts, a personal prompt system you can reuse with any artwork, and one strongest piece marked for revision into a submission-ready draft if you choose.

Who it’s for

  • Writers who want a reliable way to generate new work without forcing “inspiration”.
  • Poets and fiction writers who want sharper imagery and stronger specificity.
  • Anyone returning to writing after a gap and needing structure.
  • Artists and museum-goers who want writing that stays grounded in what’s seen.

What you’ll produce

  • Weekly drafts created from a single artwork prompt.
  • An optional homework submission each week (one file upload).
  • A final “best draft” selected for revision after Week 4.

How you’ll learn

  • Live Zoom sessions (75 minutes): short teaching, guided writing, practical discussion.
  • Weekly signature exercise: a structured prompt designed to generate a draft fast.
  • Optional homework upload: light-touch guidance focused on next steps (not line-by-line edits).
  • Weekly discussion prompt: accountability without turning it into a critique circle.
  • Resource pack: reading list + prompt bank + a simple method for choosing artworks.
