Creative Writing

All you need is a love of words and the desire to express yourself with words and we’ll help bring out the rest in you.

It is human nature to want to document that which is sacrosanct to oneself. What you do with it will always be sublime if you have or can find the ability to express it through writing.
Workshops will explore the imagination of language and it’s purposes for communication, as well as the fun you can have exploring techniques, styles and genre.

In learning to write biographically, fiction, non fiction, short stories, journalism you can even create your own new language or just simply learn how to make your own documentation into a potentially saleable product.

Pelham Arts workshops pay attention to detail and description with words enabling the reader to fully engage with the imaginary images that the work invokes in their mind.


Over the top

The child stares

Ahead at the shimmering trees

Curls up her knees

Not knowing how to rock the swing

The chain creaks

She gazes up at the sun

Not sure she starts to sing

With each breath

The swing gently sways

Breathe in, breathe out,

Kick in, kick out

Might she fall and break her neck

She rocks gently so as not to fall

Near or far

Reach within or go without

The pleasure of a simple swing

And so to begin

She leans back then forth

Gaining momentum

Gathering speed

Until she soars

The child dares

And in doing so declares

Prisms round her head

Rainbow glows

Imagination rocks

Over the top and under

Feet ahead she rides

Along her parallel universe

And the magic in her eyes

Leaves behind all lies
