“Architects cannot teach nature anything.” –Mark Twain
Unlock your creativity this fall with an Autumn Themed Poetry Workshop guided by poet and master teaching artist Victoria Nordlund.

Welcoming writers of all levels, this workshop offers a nurturing environment to explore themes of change, renewal, and the essence of autumn.
