REFiNE writers workshops are designed to support writers with their projects-in-development. If you’d like expert input to help you advance and enhance your projects, navigate creative challenges, provide strategies to unblock and unlock potential in your creative process and projects, or just to connect with a community of supportive writers to share your journey with, then REFiNE is definitely for you.
The content of every REFiNE workshop session is designed to cater for the specific, immediate creative development needs of those attending. All sessions will continually adapt to respond and serve each attending writer’s unique evolving needs and preferences.
TAOO workshops are uniquely flexible — you can choose when, where and how you’d like the workshop to take place (in-person or via video or audio-only call); whether you meet one-to-one (in a public venue like a coffee shop) or with a group of friends, colleagues, or other creatives you’ve yet to meet (by choosing between “private” and “open workshop”).
Each workshop appointment can be rescheduled with 48 hours notice — life is complex and we want you to get the best possible return from your investment.
This means you can attend a single workshop or many, as and when it suits your schedule and budget, and still benefit from strategies and support directly tailored to your unique creative goals — ensuring that you come away from every workshop equipped for your next creative challenges.
What matters to you matters to us.
REFiNE writers workshops and 360 CREATiVE CONSULTS are facilitated by Stephen Barnes, a creative polymath with decades of professional experience empowering hundreds of writers — across all forms and levels of experience — to explore and fulfil their unique creative potentials by providing bespoke development strategies and support to them and their projects. He has worked with award-winning playwrights, authors, poets and screenwriters, as well as acclaimed directors, designers, musicians and visual artists, and with creatives of all ages just beginning to explore their creative potential. He has created and facilitated for highly visible organisations like the BBC, NHS, Tron Theatre, Playwrights Studio Scotland and Bijli Productions, amongst others, and also created projects focused on developing and showcasing the creativity of individuals in less visible, under-resourced communities across Scotland.
