Grace Welker: Where I’m From- A Write Yourself Down Workshop
Sat September 19, 2026 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Just like visual art, writing offers an invitation to reflect on our relationship with the lands we inhabit, those we choose and the ones we are born onto. We are first shaped by the people and places that raise us, their sights, sounds, smells, and stories residing deep in our bones. In this afternoon workshop, we consider George Ella Lyon’s poem “Where I’m From” as we listen, write, discuss, share, and participate in bringing forth the lands we each carry within ourselves as well as the land we are meeting on.
Supplies provided by students: Bring paper or a notebook and a pen or pencil.
Cost: Free
Maximum of 20 / Minimum of 2
