Typewriter Poetry Workshop with Sabine Magnet in Munich, Germany

Have you always dreamed of writing poetry but never dared to try?
Did you sit down to write but didn’t know where to start?
Have you written poems before, but worried you might not be doing it “right” or “well enough”?
Do you want to experiment with language in a safe and supportive environment?
Would you like to finally have fun with writing?
Or maybe you just want to try out a typewriter for the first time?

In this workshop, Sabine will guide you into (poetry) writing, with lightness, joy, and a sense of community. You’ll experience writing poetry on real typewriters, in a supportive, welcoming group.

You’ll be lead through creative exercises and learn tools that will help you getting into the flow, silence your inner critic and fight perfectionism. By the end, you’ll take home your own freshly typed poems – as a keepsake for yourself or a unique gift for someone you love.

What to expect

• Creative writing on vintage typewriters
• Easy exercises for inspiration and confidence
• A safe space to share and connect
• No prior experience required, everyone’s welcome!
• All materials, drinks & snacks included
