This Timeless Arts Haiku and Tanka workshop series runs on the Zoom platform, which is accessed by simply following the links we email to you. Clicking through brings you into the video workshop! This is our second Timeless Arts workshop, and a written, non-video version of the first season of Timeless Arts also ran the autumn/fall of 2021.

Timeless Arts Haiku & Tanka Season Two (Zoom Workshop)

Format:

There are three elements to the Timeless Arts Haiku & Tanka Zoom Workshops

1) Two carefully chosen mostly visual prompts are shared with participants, taken from across the arts in their broadest sense. Prompts can be quotes from literature, or images of classic design, paintings or drawings, and so on. The prompts are sent early so that participants can choose to start writing before the next stage.

2) A Zoom workshop brings everyone together, and briefly discusses the prompts before some short writing time. Then there is time for tutor feedback and workshopping of two poems for each participant.

3) Tutor's comments are additionally summarised in writing for the group. This means that the workshop itself is more relaxed with these notes provided afterwards.

FAQs

What if I book but can't make all of the Zoom workshops?

If you are unable to make the workshop, then we will miss you, but you will still be sent the prompts and may submit two haiku and/or tanka in writing instead, which we will read out and discuss in the Zoom class, and your poems will also be added to the rest of the group's for the written notes stage with the key points of the discussion.

I've never used Zoom and am not confident about the technology.

We will happily do a test Zoom with you and talk you through the process in the lead up to the workshop. Just email us at admin@callofthepage.org and we will set this up.
