Make Writing Happen: A Workshop for Book Artists
Led by Jane Sprague

A word after a word after a word is power. —Margaret Atwood

Make Writing Happen is a one-hour writing workshop for book artists who want to develop and expand their relationship to text in their books. This workshop will guide participants through a series of writing and thinking exercises to explore ways we can generate content for our book projects. We will write together to push past writing styles and strategies we are already comfortable with in order to try out new tactics for making writing happen. We’ll develop a cache of writing topics/subjects/entry points and content to return to for when we make books.

If you are currently working on a book project you may wish to focus on experimenting with language for that work. This workshop is also a chance to jump into writing in order to see what you might create and pick up some new tools for working with language in ways that excite you.  

Materials needed to follow the demo or do it on your own after the meeting will be provided with RSVP.
