Poetic Writing Workshop
Poetic writing - Winter theme "Our snowy nights"
Paris-Ateliers / SAINT-BLAISE (Paris 20th)
About
Writing is not a straight line.
Like us, it undulates and takes on color as the seasons pass.
Sometimes, it demands fertile ground to dare to unfold: a space-time, paths, horizons, new suns…
This is the ground that Flora Delalande will strive to offer you, in a cocoon of benevolence.
Writing prompts will be nurtured by varied experiences and inspirations: from music to meditation, to graphic work and the relationship with objects. If time permits, we will even go on a brief expedition in the city.
The goal? To glean clues for our poems, thus exploring the question of writing in motion.
Throughout the day, we will explore the sensations linked to winter, the depths of February nights, but also the momentum of the coming year and the sweetness of being together.
Through winter, we will traverse landscapes, emotions, and colors, through short and long writing pieces.
Times for sharing (never mandatory) our texts will be an opportunity to make our creations vibrate together.
At the end of the day, everyone will leave with their creations, including a small illustrated poem-card.
To bring: each participant is invited to come with a text, printed on an A4 page which is, for them, linked to winter, whatever the connection. It can be a text in verse or prose, a text written by a famous author or an illustrious unknown. The essential thing is that the text was chosen with love. (Please be sure to come with a "printed" text and not an entire book or a text in digital form).

Our take on this event
Let your imagination run wild and find your unique voice in this intimate poetry workshop. Through a mix of meditative practices and spontaneous urban wanderings, you will turn sensory inspirations into written pieces. It is the perfect opportunity to express yourself, share with like-minded creators, and walk away with your own poetic keepsakes.
On Tuesday, February 9, 2027, Paris-Ateliers in the 20th arrondissement hosts a poetic writing workshop led by Flora Delalande. Open to anyone 16 and older, this one-day event explores the themes and sensations of winter through music, visual arts, and potential outdoor city excursions. Limited to 8 participants to ensure a supportive environment, the session encourages collective sharing and individual creativity, culminating in the creation of a unique illustrated poem card. To join, you must bring a single printed A4 sheet containing a text related to winter—whether prose or verse—to serve as a starting point for your work.
Join instructor Flora Delalande for a deep dive into the craft of poetry on February 9, 2027. Held at the Paris-Ateliers Saint-Blaise location, the workshop runs from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00. Participants will navigate the nuances of the winter season using diverse inspirations, including meditation and graphic design elements. If the weather permits, the group will head out for a brief expedition into the city to gather sensory details and observational indices for their writing.
The cost is 150 €, with a 10% discount available for current Paris Ateliers members, or 280 € TTC for professional training applicants. Please note that each attendee is required to bring a physical A4 printout of a winter-themed text—please do not bring digital files or entire books. Throughout the day, you will engage in both short and long writing exercises and have the option to share your work with others. You will leave the workshop with your own creations and a specially crafted illustrated poem card.
