Fall workshops are classroom sized sessions that allow for a deep-dive into an element of craft. Besides instruction, these workshops can also include time for activities such as: drawing and writing exercises, group work, sharing, feedback, and discussion. Lunch is included to allow extra time to mingle with faculty, meet creators with similar interests, and catch up with old friends.
