Workshop Description:
Field Notes: A Writing Workshop
A two day generative writing workshop for all artists and writers to explore and engage together in a supportive community. We will make notes and lists of the raw materials of our surroundings of The Mendocino coast and transform those notes into short forms of poetry or short prose. Workshop includes in-class prompts, explorations of landscape and objects to inspire new methods of harnessing creativity, and roundtable discussions of student work. The goal of this workshop is to open new doors, draft new beginnings, and return home with writing inspired by our experience in our community.
