Collage poems: playing with poetry & art: Sat Jan 20, 2024, 10 am - 3 pm

What better way to start the new year than creating with poetry and art!

in-person at Jules’ Poetry Playhouse

11 Homestead Lane, Placitas, NM (directions and contact info sent upon registration)

Collage art generating (11-12 pm)

            Create your own collage, in whatever form you like. Collage-making materials provided.   Working with our hands also helps our creative process as we think about what we might want to write about next.  Materials provided: cards, paper, envelopes, lots of collage materials, magazines, adornments, scissors, glue sticks and more. Time for making a card or two, or a larger piece.

Poetry making (12:15 - 1:30 pm)

As poets we are “makers” and we will continue our composing with short poetry forms, such as haiku, haibun, a half-sestina, tritina, or short verse. Shorter forms allow the focus to incorporate a response to the collage. Short poems are provided as prompts with ample time for writing.

Assembling and sharing (1:45 - 3 pm)

As a class, we will review what we have created and the process of how collage art compares to poetry.

Leave this class with your art project or card, (or maybe a valentine) and a poem (or two!) in a supportive, playful in-person class setting.

Time to walk the backyard labyrinth during breaks on the beautiful grounds of Jules’ Poetry Playhouse.

$55 includes all materials
