Do you have a sense of adventure, a desire to experience new vistas, a keen eye for detail and a storyteller’s flair? These are a few of the elements of the travel writer’s toolkit that Laurie will discuss in this travel writing workshop. You’ll practice in-class writing exercises to awaken the imagination and help guide your interest in writing about the places you’ve traveled or want to travel. You’ll walk away with some ideas to begin, methods to engage your reader, and stimulate your own sense of wonder! This is also a class for those who don’t travel but would like to armchair travel and write about what places intrigue them.

This is a fascinating project, draw on cotton fabric, add the alcohol/vinegar blend and watch the magic happen! During the workshop we will experiment with designing and blending permanent markers with rubbing alcohol and vinegar creating a watercolor effect.  We will each use a variety of permanent markers and recycled objects to make our own colorful creation and while still wet, the work may be taken home at the end of the workshop. A caregiver must be present for children under the age of 10 to help with the project. Wear an old shirt to protect your clothing. Ages 5+ Registration required
