Join The Mill's Writer in Residence Jess Martin for a poetry workshop in The Mill's Exhibition Space.

Presented by The Mill as part of the Writer in Residence program, participants will be guided through experimental ways to start creating poetry and express themselves authentically through text.

This two hour poetry workshop is for all levels, from the absolute beginner to confident poets looking for new creative tools. The workshop will lead participants through a variety of approaches to start writing poetry and understand what poetry is all about.

Jess will introduce participants to established poetic forms and branch out to explore the weird experimental possibilities that poetry provides.

Hosted in The Mill’s gallery space, we will have the opportunity to respond poetically to the September exhibition Frances Rogers, Future Fossils. This workshop is designed to be accessible to people from all creative backgrounds, for writers and non-writers wanting to explore poetic techniques to kick start the creative process.
