Discover your inner poet and artist at this creative, hands-on workshop exploring the art of Blackout Poetry.

Join us in the peaceful garden at Together Culture for a relaxed and welcoming two-hour session where you’ll turn old texts into new poetic treasures. Blackout Poetry is a simple and imaginative way to find hidden meaning in existing words and reframe them through your own creative lens.

What to Expect:✨ Choose from a range of pre-loved texts – newspapers, books, brochures, and more.🖊 Highlight words that spark your interest and form them into a poem.🎨 Decorate the remaining space to bring your piece to life using a variety of art materials.🖼 Take home a unique, frame-worthy creation – and maybe even start a second one if time allows!
