Join author Dannika Patterson for an adventure into the art of haiku poetry.
Using Dannika's book SeaSpray17: Ocean Photography & Haiku Poetry as a point of reference, you'll be inspired to create your own haiku in this highly interactive workshop.
Using a mix of photographs, sensory prompts and collected stimuli from nature, you'll tune into your senses to practise the art of haiku: capturing a moment in time in poetic form.
Format
