Small Worlds: The Art of Haiku with Amy Graver
Small Worlds: The Art of Haiku with Amy Graver on Tuesday, September 9th from 7 to 8:30 pm.
Explore the power and precision of haiku in this 90-minute, hands-on workshop featuring traditional, modern, haibun, and linked forms. Through joyful discussion and creative exploration, participants will learn essential elements – seasonal imagery, line breaks, rhythm, and juxtaposition – while engaging in fun, generative writing exercises.
We’ll try a collaborative “haiku pass,” spark inspiration with a haiku prompt deck filled with sensory cues, and write ekphrastic haiku inspired by gallery artwork or a chosen image. The session will close with a surprise take-home prompt and a small project to carry your haiku into the world.
You’ll leave with several original haiku, new generative techniques, and a deeper appreciation for the small worlds that live in a single moment. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned writer, come ready to observe, imagine, and surprise yourself.
$30 gets you 90 minutes of instruction in the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts from 7 to 8:30 pm.
