Blackout Poetry Workshop for Teens @ Patmos Library

Get creative by turning old book pages into cool blackout poems and express yourself in a fun, chill workshop for teens.

Blackout Poetry Workshop for Teens

Discover a creative new way to turn words into art at our Blackout Poetry Workshop! In this hands-on session, teens will transform ordinary book pages into powerful poems and bold visual designs by selecting words and “blacking out” the rest of the text. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that combines poetry, creativity, and visual expression.

No poetry experience is needed—just bring your imagination. Participants will learn the basics of blackout poetry, explore examples, and create their own unique works to take home.

All supplies will be provided.
