“Architects cannot teach nature anything.” –Mark Twain
Unlock your creativity this fall with an Autumn Themed Poetry Workshop guided by poet and master teaching artist Victoria Nordlund. Explore the vivid hues and crisp scents of September, as you delve into the art of crafting evocative autumnal poetry in the gardens and grounds of the Mark Twain House. Welcoming writers of all levels, this workshop offers a nurturing environment to explore themes of change, renewal, and the essence of autumn.
Tickets: $15 regular admission/$10 for museum members
While there is some covered and open seating outside, bring a blanket or folding chair so you can settle into your perfect writing spot on the museum grounds.
