SPOILING A NOTEBOOK...
is a workshop designed for anyone who, faced with a blank page, isn’t sure where to start. This class works especially well for teachers, bartenders, musicians, pipefitters, and anyone else who isn’t sure about “being a writer” but still has stories to tell. Based on the teaching practice of MacArthur “genius” grant winner Lynda Barry, the class will surprise you with memories you’ve forgotten, inspire you with playful exercises, and encourage you with enthusiastic acceptance.
Come one, come all!
