Illuminate your writing with this Blakean explosion of word, image and London walking. Artist and poet Sophie Herxheimer, and Chris McCabe, poet and author of Real South Bank, have summoned the spirit of William Blake to inspire new works combining text and art. You will walk a carefully mapped out Lambeth, with time to think, write, and work on visual responses over two days. The course will culminate in an art/print-making session. William Blake lived in Lambeth between 1790 and 1800, creating his original techniques for fusing poetry with painting and printing, later writing ‘from Lambeth we began our foundations, lovely Lambeth’. Herxheimer and McCabe will revisit these foundations, including a visit to the sites of Blake’s house on Hercules Road, Astley’s Circus where Blake tried to save a punished boy and that of the Albion Mill, which inspired the line ‘these dark satanic mills’. There’ll be a chance to look at Blake’s own work at close hand with a crossing to Tate Britain. As with Blake, your own visions will spring from the reality of the contemporary city. Every student will create a unique print or painted page of their own to take away at the end of the course.

A two-day course running on Saturday 24 September and Saturday 29 October
