Description

In this very chill writing workshop we’ll work with nature-inspired prompts, throw rules out the window, and end up with some lines we like very much. We’ll then imprint those lines on leaves and other natural materials to take home tangible proof of our efforts and time together. No previous experience with poetry needed, and leave any anxiety at the door.

Happy to take late registrations & walk-ins!

Class size 10

Level Beginner and above

  • Materials Fee $5
