Workshops and Educational Work
'Words are magic! I love the sound of them, the shape of them, the way they feel on my tongue, whether spoken or sung. I love the ability of words to jump off the page into my head and hold me spellbound when I listen, to capture a moment in time'.
- Rebecca Lowe, Write Mindfully.
Words are Magic!
Are you passionate about writing? Do you get excited by the idea of getting your story down on paper, but feel frustrated that you can't find the right words?
Perhaps you liked writing and creativity as a child but somewhere along the line you gave up, feeling you weren't good enough?
I'm here to tell you that you are more than enough! Nobody can tell your story better than you.
So write it,
Sing it.
Dance it,
Shout it,
Be it!
If you have an event coming up and require a speaker, performer, or workshop facilitator, give me a call. I can cater for all ages and requirements - from children's workshops to women's empowerment days.
Children's Workshops
Using my children's poetry book Grandmasaurus as inspiration, I can run poetry presentations, workshops and interactive writing activities for schools, youth clubs and educational establishments - or even parties!
Just let me know what you'd like, what age groups and curriculum areas you wish to include, and I will deliver a tailor-made programme which is educational, inspiring and, most of all, fun!
Children's Writing
Have you ever met a knitting dinosaur? Or dreamed of starting a Nit Circus? Or eaten the very last biscuit in the packet and blamed it on invisible bears?
If so, this book is for you! If not, don’t worry…this book is for you too! A rip-roaring collection of curly-wurly, squishy swirly poems, just waiting to get out of this book and into your head. I’d watch it, if I were you…
Grandmasaurus is a book of poems for children of all ages and silly adults.
This is the first children's book I've published so far, but I'm working on many others - watch this space!
If you'd like to invite Rebecca Lowe and her Upstart Crow to come and share their poems with you, give me a call!
I can tailor any event to meet your needs, with poetry performance, songs, workshops and educational activities.
FREE Activity Worksheets available for teachers!
