About Woven Word Creative Writing Workshops
|
Woven Word Young Writers offers workshops focused on developing your creative voice and writing style, learning to express emotions through art, and simply enjoying the writing process. Woven Word offers a breath of fresh air to the rule-driven, test-defined writing world students often encounter in schools. Together we build a writers' community and reintroduce writing as something you can do for yourself. Because everyone has something to say, and writing is a powerful way to say it!
Woven Word Young Writers offers after school workshops each week with options for ages 7-18 (see below). Workshops last between one and two hours. In house full semester workshops include two writing periods and snack break. A potluck reading of members work is held in the spring. Virtual workshops are shortened a bit, but still built for relaxing, affirmative social time in a supportive writers "circle" (ok... it's actually a grid...). |
Teen Writers Workshop (Ages 12-18)
Wednesdays 4:30-6:30 in Hadley*
* With Virtual Option
We start with chatting, and a group brainstorm. We read poetry out loud or a reading related to the upcoming prompts. We offer many prompt choices which members are free to ignore if they choose. We write for 30 minutes, then share the work in a circle of affirmative feedback. There is a social/snack break in the middle.
This year we are meeting in person with a virtual option. Writers can join on Zoom if need be and workshops may be fully virtual at times.
