In September and October I will be holding a series of workshops focussed on creativity and self-expression with an emphasis on songwriting, poetry and lyrics. Anyone interested in creativity is welcome to join! 

​

During the workshops we will focus on a different work by an established artist each week, and we will explore what inspired the artist to bring the piece into being. We will then spend some time connecting to our creative selves through guided meditation. Space will then be given to creative free flow of ideas. These ideas will form the basis of a piece of work that can be developed during the coming week. We will end each session by sharing reflections, insights, or fragments of work. 

​

The workshops will take place on Saturdays from 1:30 - 3:30PM at the Longyard Studios in Cork City starting on September the 28th. There are four workshops in the series and the cost is 100EUR for the the four workshops.

This is what some of my students have said about classes and workshops I have given: 
 

“A very inspiring and laid-back workshop allowing creativity to come to the fore. Meditation proved a useful tool in accessing ideas. Sharing and hearing work from other participants was really nice. Alastair created a lovely rapport and encouraged everyone to leave that inner critic behind and explore their creative process. A wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon!”

 

“The workshops helped me to make a start on song writing and was a safe creative space with like-minded people.”

 

“This is an excellent songwriting workshop. I have done a number of workshops in the past but the approach Alastair takes is totally different, much more interesting and very beneficial to my songwriting. I would recommend the course to anyone interested in

songwriting. It is also great fun.”

 

“A unique and moving experience. Alastair was excellent. I found the meditations were a great way finding words and expressions.”
