WORD AND IMAGE: POETRY AND PAINTING
July 28 - August 2 • Gillian Clarke and Mary Lloyd Jones

One of Wales’ most exciting painters teams up with one of Wales’ best loved poets for a Poetry and Painting course. Mary and Gillian have worked together before as tutors and on creative projects: sharing influences, using each other’s work for inspiration, and using landscape and legend in their own work.

Both poets and painters use thought, imagination, rhythm, pattern, and external and internal landscapes. For beginners or experienced artists or poets, this course will offer fresh ways of seeing in a beautiful house in a lovely place. Use the garden, the beach, the synergy of poet and painter, or do your own thing. It should be a time of new beginnings.
