The Quill Experience

Step back in time and discover the art of writing as it was done for centuries. Join Enfield Poets for a unique hands-on workshop where you’ll have the chance to try writing with a traditional quill pen and oak gall ink, the very materials once used by poets, scribes, and storytellers throughout history.

Guided by Enfield Poets, you’ll explore the feel of the quill in your hand, experiment with the flow of natural ink on the page and gain an appreciation for the craft of writing in its most authentic form. No experience is necessary, just bring your curiosity and creativity.

Whether you’re a writer, a history enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a new artistic experience, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to connect with the past and let your words take shape in a timeless way.

This workshop is part of the Enfield Poets Literary Festival
