Poets, here’s your chance to turn your thoughts into words – and your words into books.
The Royal City Literary Arts Society is offering a workshop on Saturday, March 23 called Fit to Print and Fold: a Chapbook Workshop.
The three-hour workshop (1 to 4 p.m.) will explore a variety of individual and group writing exercises aimed at creating new poetry and prose and then look at some of the diverse forms chapbooks can take. In the last part of the class, participants will cut, paste, fold and collage their own chapbooks.
“Bring you favourite pen or pencil, a playful spirit, and get ready to witness your words transformed into books,” says a write-up from the society.
The workshop is taking place in Room 411A at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. The fee is $15 for members, $25 for non-members, plus an additional $12 cash for chapbook supplies that you can pay at the workshop. Pre-register by emailing secretary@rclas.com.
