NEW DATE: Family Event - Easter Haiku Workshop

NEW DATE: Family Event - Easter Haiku Workshop

We are pleased to announce a new date for our rescheduled haiku workshop for children and their families. Now taking place this Easter half-term, due to popular demand we have also added an additional session! Come along and be inspired in this fun and creative session led by internationally acclaimed poet, Paul Conneally!

About the Session

During this workshop at Calthorpe Community Garden in London, children and their parents/carers will discover what makes a real haiku and how to compose their own original and authentic poems! Session participants will join Paul on a ‘haiku walk’ to gather inspiration and ideas before they start writing. 

Please note this event will be held in-person and children must be accompanied by an adult to attend.  

About the Teacher 

Paul Conneally is an internationally acclaimed haiku poet and artist. He has led numerous workshops for children and adults in museums, schools, galleries and in his favourite place - ‘outdoors’. He has had the pleasure of leading the judging panel of the JAL Haiku Competition for a number of years and is looking forward to working with you!
