Lead your senses to a paper – workshop

Lead your senses to a paper in Daniil Kozlov’s (Susinukke Kosola) playful poetry workshop! At the Kulttuuritalo Villi on Saturday, November 9th, from 11 am to 4 pm (lunch at your own expense in between), we will delve into observational and tactile writing.

During the workshop, we will explore different ways of verbalizing sensory experiences and learn to use them as raw material for creative writing. Shake your imagination awake and infuse your language with new vitality. You can also work on something to perform at the open mic night on Wednesday.

Free admission, limited number of participants. We mainly use Finnish, but come along and we’ll help you out! Register in advance by Friday, November 1st, 2024, at suvi.aarnio@salo.fi or by message at 044 778 4982.
