Poetry Without Words

Welcome to Poetry Without Words, an exhibition brought to you by our learners at Bristol Wellbeing College.

Poetry Without Words started in 2021 to showcase the work our learners created in our six-week course run by fellow learner and poet, Paul Hawkins.

The course is based on a creative writing movement called ‘Poem Brut’ that uses artistic creative writing to aid with mental wellbeing and nurtures confidence, self-expression and growth. Each of these pieces have meaningful stories behind them.

Please take time to browse our artists’ work below – just click the images to visit each artist’s page.

If you’re interested in exploring your own creative side or using creativity to support your mental wellbeing, check out our course timetable. We run free creative workshops and courses for adults in Bristol regularly throughout the year.
