Hey there, Poetry + Crafts People!
Are you obsessed with pretty words? A secret midnight crafter? A writer of note’s app poetry? A collector of too-many-hobbies? Or a pent up, uni student with not enough sleep and big emotions to express?
Poetry Society welcomes everyone to join us in creative vigil once a week at the University of Worcester! Whether that's writing poetry or crafting jams, we hope to create a warm and inviting place for artistic expression in all its form, and build a safe space for everyone's unique art and perspective.
As a society, we host sessions & events like:
- Craft sessions, such as zine making, collaging, jewellery making and more!
- Poetry sessions, such as themed writing nights, exploring poetry forms, spoken word & performance poetry and sharing sessions of our favourite poets / poems!
- Poetry workshops with teaching lecturers
- Socials, such as board games parties, movie nights, open mics and quiet study sessions!
- Brand new, unique poetry events, such as a Poetry Arts Market, Picnic & Poetry and a Museum Day Out!
