How do haiku look?
Words and collage together
Hook thoughts in paper.
All day workshop with Jacs and Boni
@ The Poetry Pharmacy
Time 10:30 – 12:30 am (lunch break) 1:30 – 3:30pm
A chance to explore the common elements of writing haiku and creating collage, putting images on paper with words and with mixed media.
The workshop will be divided into a morning session with a short introduction to the Japanese influences on the Haiku form, exploring what makes a group of words become a Haiku and reading some published work. Then we will write our own Haiku.
After the lunch break, using materials on hand in the room or images and objects that you bring with you, we will create a flat lay collage related to our Haiku which will then be photographed.
Bring a camera/phone/iPad to record your finished work. (We can email photos to you, if you like or print it on the day.) Your take home will be as many records of your collage and Haikus as you like.
Admission £55 to include all materials, tea, coffee and Cake!
