Poetry at the Pottery: January Generative Writing Workshop

Start 2027 with a creative bang! Join Sarah Kobrinsky for a poetry writing workshop.  We will meet in person for four Tuesday evenings in January (5th, 12th, 19th and 26th) from 7-9pm. Everyone from total newbies to seasoned scribes are welcome.

Each week we will discuss poems around a particular theme, then write poems to various prompts or in various forms. Participants will also receive a daily writing prompt via email through the month of January. This is a great way to begin or continue a daily writing practice. Our course will conclude with a celebratory public reading on Sunday, January 31st, from 2-4pm.
