This is the first in a series of courses which will look at different subjects, including poetry, writing for children, and short story writing.
USP: Opportunity to write in the house where Dylan wrote over 2/3rds of his published work and to experience the local areas that inspired his work, including Cwmdonkin Park and the Uplands.
The course will concentrate on participation, and students will be encouraged to develop their own writing and poetry style.
