Nottingham Poetry Series will present a book arts and writing workshop at Newstead Abbey, on Saturday 9 February, as part of Nottingham Festival of Words.
Whether your fancy is for long-johns or lacy leggings, a billet doux for Valentine’s Day or somewhere to make notes for your unfolding novel, join this lighthearted workshop to make a simple, but intriguing, folded ‘trouser’ book.
The form creates tucked away pages and hidden corners, just right for Byronic note-keeping – until all is revealed when the book unfolds!
There will be time to write, or decorate the books with words and material collages.
You will then have a gift to take home, or a place for you to fill with your own words, later.
Running from 11 am to 1 pm, 
the event kicks off a whole day of poetry at this atmospheric house with distinct Byronic attachments.
