📌Sat 13th Sept 2025 | 2-3:30pm
Damian Kelly-Basher, invites you to build a poem in the inspirational setting of Winchester School of Art's spectacular Rotunda.
Join Damian - Hampshire Poet 2024-26 - for a creative writing workshop followed by a sharing session, drawing on the Heritage Open Days theme of ‘architecture’.
At this interactive event Damian asks us to imagine "how we shape the world". Using this phrase as a starting point he will guide you through writing exercises to design and construct a poem of your own. The session will conclude with a low-pressure sharing session where participants can read their poem to the group if they wish.
