Morning Haiku Class
Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
Typically, haikus are written about nature, but they can be about any topic.
They also tend to be written in present tense keeping one connected to the “here and now” in a world often worrying about the past or hurrying to plan the future.
Enjoy a relaxing meditative morning learning a brief history of the art of Haiku poetry and create your own personal Haiku to take home.
Tea and coffee will be provided to get those creative thoughts flowing.

More Flat Surfaces!
The studio now has a huge table in the front room…in addition to the current one in the main studio.
More flat surfaces to create art and students will have more arm room and personal space during class.
Looking for something fun to do this spring… check out the classes at the studio!
