During this four-hour course we will learn the tenets of Memoir and study the craft of personal narrative, guided by writing exercises and working in non-traditional workshop models. We will explore our artist's journals, discover the work of diverse contemporary memoirists, while invited speakers will deepen our knowledge and inquiry of craft. As a group, we will create an accepting and open space in which our personal stories are treated with care and respect. This course culminates in a memoir project using word and image combined, that captures how you have made meaning of the discoveries in your writing.
