"We don't live on things, we live on the meaning of things."

What story does an ordinary object hold? In this generative writing workshop with Art/Lab Alum Holly Goodman, you'll use guided prompts and your senses to uncover stories hidden in a personally meaningful object. Bring something special and see where it leads.

No writing experience needed - all levels welcome.

Holly Goodman is a journalist and freelance writer whose work has appeared in dozens of magazines, newspapers, and online publications.

Sunday, July 26 | 11 AM to 2 PM

Collage is spontaneous, layered, and endlessly expressive - and this workshop lets you explore it fully.

A short guided meditation and prompt set the tone, followed by examples of collage and design principles to inspire and inform. We will work with paper, glue and our imaginations to let work unfold in a warm, encouraging atmosphere. Whether you’ve never made art before or you’ve spent years in a studio, expect expressive freedom and meaningful feedback — all levels welcome.

Char Breshgold provides a variety of beautiful art papers, scraps of paintings, vintage book pages and assorted ephemera. Please bring any personal items to add.
