We all write, wear and walk- we all have Common Threads...

Join us for our Cardiff instalment of our writing workshop in the first phase of our Common Threads project. The workshops will take place in the beautiful Chapter Arts Center.

This project endeavours to bringing people together to discuss the journeys we make and the clothes we wear when we make them. You will be guided through a number of poetry writing exercises, that will lead to the creating of a wearable poem.

You will have the chance to explore new ideas and meet other creatives virtually. With your agreement we will use the words you have written and integrate them into a hand made coat weaved with the words you have created with us. Together we will create a unique pattern for a jacket that will be brought to life with the unheard team.

After the workshops you will be kept up to date with the project and receive updates and pictures of the coat, and hopefully see it in real life when it returns to Chapter in its finished form.

From this project you will gain:

• Connections and support from Unheard
• The chance to meet new poets
• A common goal to work towards

Who is this project for?

• Over 18s
• Aspiring poets
• People interested in poetry but not sure where to start
• Those who write solo and would like to find support and a community to learn from and with
• People who need a creative afternoon to meet new people

We hope you can join us on this exciting new project!
