Salon, Celebration & Closing Ceremony (Oct. 30th from 11:00-12:30)

 

Each Saturday has an individual sub theme designed to compliment the overall concept of "frames & framing" in craft and literature. We will study and write inside and outside the frame to better portray our characters (and personas) on the page; set the setting via landscapes and the still-life; and guide our readers into the past, the future, and the interior imagination of our characters by creating space and containers to map the experience by simultaneously recognizing that time is never linear; thinking about the camera, the brushstroke, the pen or pencil or stick of charcoal we should use, we will also examine the overall "frame" and "structure" our narratives need (including when, how, and why to bleed or bevel the edges, and when, how, and why to fold or cut a crisp corner or make a text sharp enough to slice the reader's finger). 

 

Sarah serves as a writing midwife by providing space to write in community. She offers literary examples for participants to study and assigns unique writing prompts designed to inspire both the novice and seasoned writer (these are often custom-tailored to the individuals and collective each class creates). Both poets and prose writers are welcome as well as all genres (no snobbery here!). Come write your/our story. Small workshops of no more than 8 writers guarantees the intimacy artists require to truly flourish.
