Horton Workshop

Workshop: Elevating the Mundane—celebrating and communicating the everyday aspects of life and living in Nature.

Participants if they wish may email me (swanfall@gmail.com) a couple pages of any nature writing they’ve done and I’ll discuss it at the workshop. If you choose to do this, bring paper copies for the 11 other attendees so they can follow along.

At the workshop we’ll set out a few prompts drawn from the nature around us and take half an hour of so to write and read and discuss.

I’ll cover other topics as time permits, including but not limited to the ff:

· How I write, the nitty gritty of it.

· How I get and develop ideas.

· Shifting the Lens—different ways of seeing.

· The Wind—exploring natural phenomena.

· A Walk in the woods (literally, if time permits).

My aim is that you’ll leave this workshop with something(s) you can develop into a satisfying piece of environmental/nature writing.

All workshop attendees are invited to Tom’s craft talk and reception on Sat., Aug. 1
