Collage and Create Poetry

Celebrate the art of poetry here in the library with a collage poetry workshop!

Pick out words from old books and magazines, cut and paste them together to create a poem AND a work of art at the same time! Use colour, images, and shapes – there’s no limit to the creativity you can put on show.

We welcome all ages to this workshop to give it a go – our librarians will be on hand to help out, or you can grab some materials, chill out and create on your own.

The most exciting part…select poems will be turned into posters to be displayed in the library, as part of our National Poetry Day celebrations throughout August! As a bonus, participants could also create and enter a poem for our For the Love of Reading! Poetry competition, and go into the draw to WIN!

All materials will be provided, although we welcome donations of old magazines/picture books to work with as well. Create and celebrate poetry with us!

Free event, all ages welcome!
