In Person Workshops for Adults

Lightbox Poetry Workshop

$10

with Annelies Gentile

Calendar Mar 15, 2025 at 1 pm, runs for 1 week

Enjoy poetry in 3-D! Join us as we explore fun and fluid play with watercolor and words through haiku. You'll be guided to paint, then create a cube and design it with your own original poetry, and illumination. Poems will come from your own life experiences. Haiku is an easy pattern of 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line and 5 syllables in the third line. Easy to do! No experience needed. In a nutshell, LightBox Poetry is an artistic reminder to keep holding the light of life in your hands. Facilitated by Artist and Integrative Life and Leadership Coach, Annelies Gentile, MA, PCC.

Instructor: Annelies Gentile, MA, PCC
