Papercraft Poetry

Keen to find a whole new dimension to your writing? Collage can be a powerful way to shake things up, find another way of expressing yourself, and toy with fresh ideas. Plus it’s fun.
In this special one-off event, Phoebe Nicholson - writer and incorrigible vandaliser of old books - will introduce you to some of the experiments, collages, and poetic crafts she’s been working on. Then, you will get a chance to learn some techniques and create tangible poetry-art pieces of your own to take home.
Think collage, paper-folding, blackout poetry, found objects, and the cut-up technique — poetry in all three dimensions.
All this and more on 8 August at 1.30pm at The Community Works. All materials provided. Please book ahead - tickets are limited and are £5 general admission (£2 concessions, £10 to pay a bit more if you can afford it). Please book ahead!
Oxford Poetry Library’s building is accessible, but if you have any specific access needs, please drop us an email at [email protected] beforehand.
