From setting intentions to finding joy in the everyday, I love to create bespoke creative writing workshops for groups big and small.
I have experience running workshops for both adults and children and have worked with Make It Better, the Writers’ Block and Artswell. I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Creative Writing from Cambridge University and an MA in Professional Writing from Falmouth University.
If you are interested in me running a workshop or course for your organisation, please contact me to find out more.

“Lucy has a way of structuring her workshops so that a simple creative task can take you deep into the knottiest parts of your own creative process. She manages to facilitate deep work in a way that feels easy and painless. I can’t recommend these workshops highly enough: I always come away with both a set of practical tools and a feeling of wellbeing.”
