Just in time for Mother’s Day, join us for a fun evening of capturing memories of our mothers or grandmothers on the page. We’ll use prompts and exercises to shape slices of the past into very short memoir pieces. Whether you write daily or are a brave new writer, this workshop will help you focus on vivid details that bring the past to life. Leave with a first draft of a short piece that you can polish and give to a family member or keep for yourself.
