They say “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and Rochester hosts the home of a picture giant: George Eastman. If you love to write poetry or short stories and feel the George Eastman House might be the perfect place to explore and create from—join us!

We’ll spend a week using the house, gardens, photo galleries and permanent museum collection as inspiration for your creative writing (as well as dabbling in a bit of picture taking ourselves, using the oldest pinhole camera technologies and the latest digital technology to create poetry postcards and posters).

After Monday, this workshop will be held entirely at the nearby George Eastman House.

Journaling

• JY3-N5B1
• Ages: 13–18
• Instructor: John Cieslinski [ bio ]
• Mornings, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
• $95 General Public; 10% discount for W&B Members

Keep your thoughts, writings and life together.

This course explores how memoirs, ideas, records of events and random notes become pieces of publishable writing. We will use tricks for prompting writing and exercises for pushing the creative boundaries. We will share exciting and different ways to use journals.

Be ready for hard work and great fun! Be prepared to get addicted to keeping a journal…if you aren't already!
