My Teaching:
I teach regular poetry and fiction courses at both Hastings and Eastbourne campuses of East Sussex College, as well as monthly, themed workshops at the The Makers Studio in Eastbourne.
My classes are held together by the belief that everyone has many stories in them, and that the every day is a source of endless creativity if we just create the right environment.
Upcoming Classes
For the next Workshop at the Maker’s Studio, book via their website here:

1:1 Tutorials/mentoring

Testimonials
'I have really valued and enjoyed Sapphire's writing classes. To hear other people's writings and to be guided by Sapphire with a variety of different writing exercises has been wonderful. Thank you for giving me the confidence to start writing poetry again. The classes have been so nurturing and you have been so encouraging, thank you'- Nathalie
'In her writing workshops, Sapphire is a wonderful supportive guide who encourages everyone to feel they can contribute, not that they have to. I have increased in confidence as a result. Have thoroughly enjoyed all the workshops I attended.- Ros
