No skills necessary. All materials supplied. Some simple drawing and writing activities, discussion and, above all, encouragement to continue your story. There is no such thing as a bad drawing, and we all have a story to tell. Let’s find out what yours is. The starting point is memoir, but a good story is a good story, and fiction can be more truthful than fact in so many ways. So hopefully, that sounds easy and fun, plus a little confusing and mysterious. And I hope to see you there! I can’t wait to hear your ideas!
