Conjuring with Collage for Storytelling Led By Julia Mallory

Tuition | $150.00
Capacity: 20 Storytellers
How might we expand our writing and storytelling using visual art making techniques such as collage as a guide? Conjuring with Collage for Storytelling is a three-week interactive, hybrid writing and visual art making space for all levels. Participants will be guided with a series of prompts through small group discussion as they engage with a previous piece of their own writing (if available). The weekly sessions of this generative workshop build on each other toward the outcome(s) of creating a collage, expanding existing writing, and/or creating new writing. The workshop will conclude with a virtual mini art show of the participants' works. Prior collage experience is not required. Beginners welcomed.
