Dive into an enriching 8-week poetry workshop designed for writers who already have poems drafted and want to elevate their craft. Each session offers a blend of creative techniques and supportive feedback to help you polish your poetry for personal enjoyment, public readings, or publishing.
You will explore voice, rhythm, imagery, and poetic forms, gaining confidence in your unique style. Optional group sharing sessions provide constructive critiques and advice on entering competitions and publishing.
This workshop is ideal for parents looking to nurture their creative side or encourage their children’s love of poetry through example.
The workshop runs every Tuesday from August 4 to August 25, 2026, with sessions from 18:30 to 20:30. Each class lasts two hours and covers topics such as creating personas, finding rhythm, boosting imagery, experimenting with line breaks, and preparing poems for public performance.
Participants will also have the opportunity to produce an 8-page printed chapbook or contribute to a class anthology, providing a tangible outcome from their creative efforts.
The cost is $45 per session or $35 concession, making it an accessible option for ongoing creative development.
The workshop is held at 852 Hong Kong Restaurant, Shop 6, 503 King Street, Newtown NSW 2042. This central location is easily accessible by public transport and offers a welcoming atmosphere for creative gatherings.
Parking and local amenities are nearby, making it convenient for parents to attend after work or school runs.
Participants should have at least one poem drafted before joining, as the workshop focuses on refining existing work rather than starting from scratch. Group sharing is optional, allowing you to engage at your own comfort level.
The workshop fosters a supportive environment where all skill levels are respected, and constructive feedback is encouraged.
Please bring your poems in printed or digital form for each session to maximize the benefit of feedback and discussion.
