Finding Yourself in Art: A Creative Writing Workshop

Go beyond the wall plaque and learn something new while exercising your creative writing skills. Through a series of guided observation and writing exercises, you'll see new possibilities in the works on display at Northwind Art. The term "worldbuilding" is most often used in conjunction with speculative fiction, but authors of all genres create worlds every time they write. Come exercise your worldbuilding skills in this ekphrastic workshop inspired by the work of contemporary sculptor Kristin L. Tollefson whose work will be on display at Northwind Art's Jeanette Best Gallery. Together we'll uncover new layers of the work as we imagine new meanings behind it, such as creature, shelter, landscape and more. Pictured: Instructor Tara Campbell.

Information about the object and artist will be shared along the way, but rather than a one-way lecture, you'll have opportunities to imagine new ways of looking at the things in front of you, forging personal relationships with the work, the gallery, and one another.
