Two weeks ago a group of Year 12 and Year 13 English students visited The Wallace Collection on a Creative Writing Course led by author Bridget Crowley. The students were taken on a tour around the collection, focussing on eight particular paintings and objects. Bridget encouraged the students to observe and analyse each item, while also enjoying and appreciating the unique setting they were positioned in.
The students were then led through a series of creative writing tasks, inspired by what they had seen. Bridget’s expertise was invaluable and the students created some superb and original writing as a result. Many took the opportunity to ask Bridget her advice on becoming a published author. Judging by the impressive standard of writing delivered on the day, I am sure Hayes will indeed produce some very successful authors in the future.
