Join us this fall at Delight Flower Farm for Field Notes, a two-hour creative writing workshop set in the peaceful surroundings of the farm’s autumn landscape. We’ll start with a short walk through the fields, taking time to sketch, observe, and free-write using the farm as inspiration. Then we’ll gather for a guided poetry workshop, with space to shape your ideas into a poem and receive gentle, supportive feedback. We’ll finish with an optional group reading, where participants can share their work over tea.
Date: Tuesday, September 16
Time: 6p-8p
Cost: $50* (materials included)
Location: Delight Flower Farm, 1472 CR 500 E Champaign, IL 61822
Classes are non-refundable and non-transferable. Workshop will be held outdoors if weather is favorable. It may move to be in our pole barn, and dressing in comfortable layers is recommended. Only one person per ticket, please.
