Waves of Emotions

A poetry and art workshop with Plymouth Laureate of Words, R.C. Thomas

In this playful and spontaneous workshop, we'll use shape, colour and texture to explore our emotions with the glorious Sound as a backdrop. Through improvisation and gestural techniques, we’ll find freedom in writing expressive poetry to capture the self in the moment. With a mindful approach, we’ll pull apart emotional cliches and, using a range of mediums, combine the written word with abstract artwork to create our own visual poems to take home.

If you’ve ever thought poetry isn’t for you, this workshop seeks to remove any preconceptions and offer a new way of looking at this unique and dynamic form.

This workshop is suitable for both adults and children (8+) of all abilities. No prior experience is needed. All materials will be provided.
