Join Tacoma Tree Foundation at King’s Books, September 9th rom 12-2:00, for a free writing and drawing workshop led by Eisner winning graphic novelist, David Lasky.

How do trees, or the lack of trees, affect our daily lives? What sounds, sights, scents, and sensations are present when we walk down a street with trees compared to a treeless one?

The workshop will be focused on our relationship to trees in Tacoma. We’ll read a few classic haiku poems, go for a short walk, and then write some haiku of our own.

In the second half of the workshop, we’ll explore the hybrid medium of ‘haiku comics.’ We’ll look at examples and then draw comic strips using the words of our poems. No previous writing or drawing experience is required.

This program is possible with the Support of Tacoma Creates. We are grateful to our hosts at King’s Books.
