Bishops Cleeve Library - Poetry and Art Workshop with Chris Tutton

Join us for an inspiring Poetry and Art Workshop led by Chris Tutton, an award-winning poet and author of eight collections, including ‘Short Chapters From Sunset’. 

In this interactive session, Chris will explore an art movement using illustrations from books. Participants will create poetry inspired by the visual art and can share their work with the group.  

Chris Tutton, praised by figures such as Ned Sherrin and Alexander Waugh, is known for his poetic mastery and philosophical depth.  He has collaborated with the BBC, London Libraries Development Agency, New Writing Partnership, and various library initiatives like Mood Boosting Books and Active Life Active Mind Across Devon Libraries.
