📝How We Shape The World: poetry workshop and sharing session with #HampshirePoet
🪟 The Rotunda, Winchester School of Art
📌Sat 13th Sept 2025 | 2-3:30pm
Damian Kelly-Basher, invites you to build a poem in the inspirational setting of Winchester School of Art's spectacular Rotunda.
Join Damian - Hampshire Poet 2024-26 - for a creative writing workshop followed by a sharing session, drawing on the Heritage Open Days theme of ‘architecture’.
At this interactive event Damian asks us to imagine "how we shape the world". Using this phrase as a starting point he will guide you through writing exercises to design and construct a poem of your own. The session will conclude with a low-pressure sharing session where participants can read their poem to the group if they wish.
Damian Kelly-Basher is a writer/performer and facilitator who has performed around the UK, including at the Royal Albert Hall and the WOMAD Festival. He has carried out creative commissions for both councils and arts organisations and has also run numerous poetry events and workshops. His background is in public health with the NHS, and he has also worked on projects in both Central America and Eastern Europe. He holds the position of Hampshire Poet 2024-26, which is jointly supported by Winchester Poetry Festival and Hampshire Cultural Trust
