About the Masterclasses

Hone your creative writing skills through this poetry masterclass hosted at Penrhyn Castle as a part of the Being Human Festival. Inspired by the works of Medieval Welsh praise poets, this workshop will help you explore your lyrical imagination through poetry and performance.

Whether you are new to writing, have experience in other genres or are a seasoned poet, this masterclass aims to strengthen your ability to connect with the world around you through writing.

Using Penrhyn Castle as a backdrop, you will be guided through this masterclass to explore popular aspects in poetry such as writing about scenery, connecting with your emotions, processing the past and celebrating your heritage.

A Welsh poet will guide you through the masterclass, where you will be writing and performing your own poetry through a digital exhibition. Hosted on site and online, this masterclass will be accessible to writers in north Wales and around the world.
