About this event
Join poet and children's author Joanna Bivens at Sudbury Library and learn how to write your own creative poems! This is part of O Projeto Página em Branco which offers high-quality creative workshops for 10-16 year olds during the school holidays.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks! Book this workshop on Eequ.
Through playful writing activities, poetry treasure hunts, creative challenges and shared discussion, young people will explore how poets use rhythm, sound and imagination to bring ideas to life.
Participants will experiment with a range of poetry styles, develop their own original poems and transform their writing into vibrant poetry posters using creative design. These finished pieces will then be brought together to create a pop-up poetry exhibition in the library- turning the space into a shared celebration of their voices, ideas and creativity.
How to book
Workshops must be booked in advance. You can book online via Eequ. If your booking is made within 72 hours of the workshop, we may not be able to accommodate specific dietary requirements. Please get in touch with the library location for the workshop to discuss options.
