Workshops
Daisy offers workshops to schools and organisations. These can range from hour long, full day or long term projects where students will interact with the world around them and create poems and stories that capture their voices. These workshops are a mixture of games, writing activities and interactive learning and can tie into themes or existing projects. Daisy has over five years experience in a variety of settings, with a particular interest in working with SEND and Autistic children, and a background in nature writing.

TOAST
TOAST makes live poetry events and workshops with the best poets in the UK. Founded in 2016, we find the strongest voices in poetry and support their careers.
Based in Norwich, our goal is to make entertaining, engaging events that bring new audiences and new poets together. Through our events and workshops we find, train and give a platform to poets whilst creating communities between artists and audiences. TOAST is funded by the Arts Council England with support from the Norwich Arts Centre, the National Centre for Writing and the Young Norfolk Arts Trust.
