A practical and artistic workshop focused on photography, filmmaking, and visual storytelling, taught either in Greek or English (student chooses before the session). Students learn how to think like a filmmaker, making images with intention, whether for cinema, documentary, personal creative expression, or social media. Depending on your interest, the session can focus on: • Photography fundamentals (camera use, light, framing, composition, mood) • Filmmaking & visual language (camera movement, atmosphere, emotional impact) • Scriptwriting & narrative (story structure, character, voice, writing from reality) • Or a full workflow: From concept to final visual outcome. Ideal for beginners or emerging artists who want to develop both their technical understanding and artistic voice.

Have you always wanted to write stories, poems, or plays, but don't know where to start? Treat yourself to a little time with a teacher who has a degree specializing in creative writing! This course is open to all levels and ages – yes, children are welcome too, because writing can also be oral! Bring your writing for a review together, or come with nothing but your ideas and leave with the result of a brainstorming session, or even a story outline to complete! A longer-term project? No problem, I'd be delighted to follow your progress. Whatever you want to do, you can achieve it, with a little time and effort!

I have my MA in Creative & Professional writing and have been writing for 20+ years. I can help with: -technical issues like how to become a better editor of your own work -creative issues like help with brainstorming, story development, plotting, character arcs -writer issues like writer’s block, lack of self confidence, writing habits and accountability -or give you feedback on your creative piece in real time and advice on how to strengthen your work The lessons are tailored to meet you where you are and lead you where you want to go. I’ve written in various genres (sci fi dystopia, period drama murder mystery, offbeat dramedy) and formats (short stories, novels, screenplays) and have been giving professional feedback within my various writing circles during for years.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced writer, discover new ways to develop your ideas, experiment with different styles and find your own voice. Through guided prompts and imaginative exercises, enjoy writing freely, at your own pace, in a supportive and inspiring space. This class is available in French, English, or both languages.

Develop your creative writing through worldbuilding, myth, lore, symbolism, poetry, and character-driven storytelling. My own work focuses on dark fantasy and mythic worlds shaped through characters, symbolic systems, atmosphere, and poetic language. I am especially interested in worldbuilding that grows organically from relationships, perception, identity, conflict, transformation, and the internal logic of a fictional universe. In our sessions, we can work on worldbuilding, lore, character development, mythology, symbolic systems, atmosphere, narrative structure, poetry, or the connections between these elements. Rather than simply adding more information to a fictional world, we can explore how its cultures, beliefs, histories, languages, spaces, and characters influence one another and create a coherent whole. My academic background in Comparative Literature, Philosophy, and Archaeology also allows us to approach creative work from different perspectives, especially when exploring myth, symbolism, culture, meaning, and narrative structure. You can bring an existing manuscript, poem, character, setting, lore document, or worldbuilding project. You can also come with only an initial idea. Sessions can be shaped around brainstorming, creative development, feedback, close discussion of your text, or building the conceptual foundations of your fictional world. You do not need to be an experienced writer. The aim is to help you develop a creative language and fictional universe that feel distinctive, internally coherent, and meaningful to you.

Creative writing can sound daunting, but we all have stories within us - whether novels, short fiction or simply pieces we write for ourselves. Whether you're an experienced writer or just beginning, we can work together to develop and improve your writing skills, covering everything from character and plot to dialogue, pace and structure. As an author of four novels (two published by Head of Zeus and two by Quercus) I have extensive experience of working with an agent, and editorial publishers, can offer valuable insights into the world of publishing. Writing is like a muscle; the more you use it, the better you become, and through a variety of writing exercises and different techniques, we can focus on helping you produce your best writing. I am also an experienced proofreader and editor and can help you improve existing works and ready them for submission.
