The Mask and the Mirror: A Collage and Writing Workshop with Lisa Fugard and Kate Saeed
October 2024 Dates TBD
Come join us for another fun and exploratory writing and collage workshop.This time, making masquerade masks! What truths do we tell through fiction (wearing a mask)? And what is revealed in the stories we tell ourselves? Let’s explore with a fun day of mask making, writing, and storytelling!
In our morning session we’ll start with introductions, then provide you with a blank mask and instruction on how to apply collage materials, embellishments, and detail to personalize your mask. In the afternoon we’ll have inspiring writing prompts which utilize your mask to help free your own creative voice. Open to those interested in writing both fiction and non-fiction.
What’s included in this workshop:
· 1 day group gathering with instruction (limited to 8 participants). Our morning will start with introductions, writing prompts and discussion and we'll do collage work after lunch.
· We'll provide coffee, tea and pastries; lunch on your own (Praeger Brothers across the street has excellent sandwiches); we'll provide wine & cheese and celebrate our creations to end the day
· We'll provide all collage materials and tools, just bring a notebook and pen and/or laptop to write with
