Writers Circle
Days: Thursdays beginning September 24- December 17
Time: 3:15-5:00
Ages: 3rd-8th grade
Teacher: Sydney Bradley
Description: Gather this Fall for a weekly Writers Circle. In these sessions, we cold-read poetry and prose, then launch into exercises designed to tone the muscles and inspire. This class is whimsical and craft-focused. We write in conversation with artists of all mediums, experimenting with words as a sculptor does clay. Our inspiration is sourced from music, photography, and lists of produce from the farmer’s market. We read everything from short contemporary prose and poetry to avant-garde & hybrid works, classical pieces, Victorian-era rhyme schemes, and sages of old. Through this regular practice, our visions become literature.
Come as you are with emotions, dreams, stories, an eye for beauty.
Zero homework. All levels welcome.
