About Woven Word Creative Writing Workshops


Picture
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 academic year 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)
Session III CANCELLED
January 8-February 5




Woven Word workshops begin with introductions, a brainstorm and reading poetry out loud.  We follow with prompts -- sometimes created by the group, often offered by the facilitator.  We offer many prompts. Writers are always welcome to ignore the prompts, stepping away from assignments in order to build each writers voice. 

 We write for 30 minutes, then share our writing together.  Affirmative comments are made on what's working in each piece.  That way we learn from each other.  There is a  snack break in the middle.
