Telling Tales

NOTE: To register please call the Creative Workshop: (585) 276-8959. In this exciting collaboration between Writers & Books and the Creative Workshop at the Memorial Art Gallery, 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 the morning at Writers & Books and the afternoons at the Creative Workshop, and be walked by teachers between these sites during the lunch hour.   *Please Note: Several needs-based scholarships (partial and full) are available specifically for this program. To apply for a scholarship, please fill out the application at wab.org (under the Youth Programs tab) or contact Sarah Brown at Writers & Books: (585) 473-2590 x110, or sarahb@wab.org.     If you would like to make a request for an accommodation, please email us at accommodation@wab.org at least 10 days prior to the event.
