Join us in celebrating the life and work of Edward Thomas at the Edward Thomas Literary Festival 2024 at The Petersfield Museum on the 4th of October at 10am.
Join poet Isobel Dixon and artist Douglas Robertson for a lively poetry-art workshop inspired by nature and nature-loving creators over the centuries. Over the course of two-hour workshop there will be chance to listen, reflect, engage in conversation and turn your own hand to some writing, drawing and/or making. Writers and artists of abilities are welcome!
Isobel will read some poems from her vivid new collection A Whistling of Birds, which includes 12 beautiful nature illustrations by Douglas Robertson. Isobel will also share a new poem inspired by Edward Thomas, with insights into Isobel and Douglas’ own creative practice and their long-running art-poetry collaboration. There will be time in the session to experiment with word and image through making and drawing that will spark closer observation and enrich participant’s creativity.
Participants may want to bring a notebook and a pencil/pen, but art materials will be provided.
