Guided by local art therapist Samantha Hickman, you will be invited to "ground" in the space to notice, connect, and create poetry inspired by the environment, in a creative and accessible way.
We will begin with the contemporary form of blackout poetry, utilising existing texts and making them our own.
We will then explore forming the Japanese art form of Haiku through its formulaic structure and nature at its heart.
Finally, we will create our own poems, to examine our own relationship with nature and how we have been shaped by the environments in which we have lived.
No experience necessary. This is a workshop for anyone who wishes to explore working with words in a creative and accessible way.
All materials and refreshments will be provided.
This workshop will be held outside so please dress for the weather.
