In this fun, hands-on creative writing workshop, you’ll use images as springboards to bring characters, stories, and dialogue to life. Whether you’re a beginner just starting to explore writing or an experienced storyteller looking for new inspiration, this session will give you tools to spark your imagination and deepen your craft. Through guided activities, you’ll experiment with using visual prompts to develop unique characters with depth and personality, generate fresh story ideas that could be built out fully following the workshop, and explore new perspectives and voices you may not have considered before. The workshop is designed to be supportive and interactive, with plenty of opportunities to play, share, and discover your own creative style. You’ll leave with original writing samples, practical strategies for breaking through creative blocks, and renewed energy for your writing projects.
