Plant-Based Poetry Making Day with SAPling Innovation - 30th March, 10-4pm

As part of the Cultivator-funded series of Creative Network events at the Hypatia Trust, we are very pleased to be hosting a free whole-day event with refreshments provided with the Singing Apple Press (SAP)! Please book your place via Eventbrite, as there is a maximum of 30 places.

Come and join us for an introduction to the work of the press, hands-on workshops, poetry readings & performance. This day is a unique opportunity to work with two language artists whose innovative practices span page-based poetry, performance, photography and fine art - all in relation to plants.

Camilla Nelson is editor and curator of Radical Landscapes (The Plough), and with SAP artist, Caroline Harris and they will present this whole day of plant-based poetry-making.

This links beautifully to other events at the Hypatia Trust some of which focus on women, plants and flowers as part of their Gardeners' House Project. For more information:
