What you'll learn

What makes “good art”? Is it the difference between art & anecdote? One thing’s certain, knowing how to develop our work—taking early drafts through a process to ensure the foundation’s solid, the bones are in place—is key.

In this intensive, we’ll explore how we can step back and see our work with a developmental eye and why that leads to greater depth of understanding of what our creative selves have brewing and a firmer structure.

Then we’ll apply deep questioning exercises to see how that can transform our work. Bring a work in progress or work with the drafts we’ll develop in session. Leave with fresh progress and an exercise you can fit into your unique process.

Thursday, July 24 — 3–6 pm PDT / 6–9 pm EDT Enrollment: $75
