Teaching artist Renee Malowitz and creative writing instructor Rhonda
Hamer join to provide an all ages project combining poetry and art on
Tuesday, January 5, 2010 from 1 to 2:30 pm at the Warwick Town Hall,
sponsored by the Warwick Women's Guild.

Participants will create a watercolor resist paper of their own design
as well as pen their own poem in calligraphy marker, combining the two
to create three laminated book marks suitable to give as gifts or mark a
page in a favorite book. Poems by others will be made available as
examples or for copying.

This program provides an opportunity to create simple yet beautiful art
as well as expose participants to the processes of writing poetry and
using calligraphy markers. It is an opportunity for community members to
come together in a relaxed setting and create.

Ms. Malowitz and Mrs. Hamer have been teaching in their various fields
for many years. Renee Malowitz has been a teaching artist for over 30
years including a classroom instructor, freelance artist, business
owner, theater design/artist and consultant. Ms. Malowitz also sketches

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Warwick Cultural
Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural
Council, a state agency. The program is free and all are welcome.
