Telling Tales

In this exciting collaboration between Writers & Books and the Creative Workshop, you’ll create your own characters and explore your own story ideas while learning at the hand of a master writer and a master artist. You’ll learn the tools of the trade—how to illustrate an idea, choose a fitting style, and draw things you don’t know how to draw—and learn the basics of plot, character, and setting— all using juicy language. At the end of the week, you’ll take home your own comic or story book. Students will spend half a day each at Writers & Books and at the Creative Workshop and be walked by teachers between these sites during the lunch hour. New this year, we plan to run two rounds of this program, so when you register please indicate if your child has a preference for drawing or writing in the morning. Registration will be handled by the Creative Workshop: (585) 276-8959.
