Join poet Alison J Barton and Troppo Print Studio for a hands-on workshop all about different approaches to visual poetry. During the workshop, participants will have the chance to add to a collaborative poem, which will be turned into a paste up poster by Troppo Print Studio, to be unveiled at the end of the workshop. The workshop coincides with the ‘Future Foundations’ exhibition curated by Troppo Print Studio, which celebrates the past, present and future of printmaking and is currently showing at Counihan Gallery.
