In this generative writing workshop, we will explore the Garden to observe and document colors and how they make us feel. Back in the classroom, we’ll dive into connections between colors and memory. Prompts will be provided for a quick writing warmup exercise, and then we’ll have plenty of time for free-form writing. We’ll conclude with time to share what we wrote — volunteers only! — with the group. All skill levels and genres are welcome.
