Voices & Visions – Sensory Writing Workshop + Painting Exhibit
Join us during EFry Week for a creative, hands-on experience bringing together sensory writing and visual art in partnership with the Royal City Literary Arts Society (RCLAS).
Poet Cynthia Sharp will guide participants through a sensory writing workshop engaging taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound. Using natural elements like shells, moss, flowers, and gemstones, participants will create poems or descriptive prose. Writers of all levels are welcome.
Participants will also experience a gallery exhibit of artwork by Canadian artist Naureen Ali, whose paintings draw inspiration from nature, travel, and everyday human experience, blending landscape with personal narrative and reflection.
