NOTE CLASSROOM CHANGE TO ART MCNALLY ROOM #81

Join Visionary-in-Residence Malcolm Guite for an engaging evening of poetry, typography and visual improvisation. Participants will write and respond to Guite's original poems through text, mark-making and mixed media techniques. Depending on the number of participants, some letterpress printing using antique wood type may be used to print new poems generated during the evening. This event is for the verbally and visually curious!
