For this adult Arts & Crafts workshop, a few book pages are the starting point for making blackout poetry. The listing names a Sharpie and participants’ creativity, but leaves the technique and steps open.
Pages and a marker, without a prescribed method
The event description identifies book pages and a Sharpie as materials, but doesn’t say whether the library will supply them or participants should bring their own. It also doesn’t outline a theme or sequence of instructions, so anyone hoping to prepare materials or learn a particular technique should check with Western before the session.
