To celebrate the richness of poetry and art Take 4 Gallery and Yarnwhispering are running a workshop event. The event will start with a short set of poetry readings by Charlie Markwick, the set will focus on work he produced to celebrate and illustrate his time as a dementia carer. The aim of the workshop will be to create poems where the words complete a picture that will have been part painted by Caroline H Green. As participants read what they have written, Caroline will carry on completing the picture. The aim is to produce a Ledbury Poetry Festival Picture
