Join us for a day of ekphrastic writing! We’ll start at the Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill with a mini tour of the museum followed by a one-hour tutorial by Kathleen Sheeder Bonanno about how to write responsively to visual art. Next, we’ll each choose a painting to write about, study it and make a draft of a poem or short story. Finally, we’ll drive down the hill to Musehouse, where we’ll enjoy a complimentary lunch. We’ll end our afternoon with a reading of our new poems and stories to the group.
What a fun and civilized way to spend a Sunday afternoon! This is a great workshop for writers of all levels.
