Place & Perspective: A Writing & Drawing Workshop

Write and/or sketch in place. Use the details, stories, architecture, people, and atmosphere of a place as inspiration for creative work. Calling Writers & Visual Artists As writers and artists, we create space and place on paper and canvas. What can we learn from those who create the spaces and places we occupy? In this workshop, we'll be thinking about our art through an architect's lens. Mix writing, sketching, local history, and unique space for a one-of-a-kind workshop experience. This workshop is tailored to its specific location based on its history, use, and architectural designs. We'll be thinking of space and place in our art–writing, sketching, or both–and in our physical environment. Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre (SCOT) provides an abundance of opportunity for creative inspiration. The workshop will be held in a historic Friends Meeting House. Participants will generate and share new work. Discussion Topics • Place as home: shelter, sentiment, identity, and self. • Prospect-refuge theory in art. • How the spaces we occupy influence us and our art. • Boundaries, thresholds, beginnings. Logistics • Check-in begins at 9:15 am. • Bring your own materials. • Bring your own lunch. Water and light snacks provided. • Closed-toe shows recommended.
