Spontaneous Poetry Writing Workshops

Writing workshops to encourage playing with words and trusting your voice.

In this workshop, you'll learn to create spontaneous, personalized poems using tips and tricks that will help you organize and articulate your thoughts clearly. 

My name is Cathy Thorne and I write custom poems on a typewriter at weddings and events. The method I use is easy to learn and will help you embrace your inner poet while putting aside your inner critic. You can apply this not only to poetry writing, but also to other projects and your personal communications.

By the end of the workshop, you will have your own completed poem, plus the skills to write poems independently. Your poems can be heartfelt, emotional and empowering, or fun and cheeky. It’s up to you! And the best part? No previous poetry experience is necessary.

Available in person and online for schools, corporate activations, team bonding and building, library events, social groups, conferences, or anywhere people who love words gather.
