Kelly’s writing generative workshop explores the theme of grandmothers––the grandmothers we are descended from, the grandmothers we are, or even the grandmothers who have influenced us through fairy tale and myth.

Using prompts of personal photos, objects, and memory, participants excavate and expand our ideas and feelings about “grandmother,” explore the impact of grandmothers on our identity, relationships, cultural background and family history.

Registration is free, but you must register to attend. The session will not be recorded. 

We hope you’ll join us for this special free event on Zoom. All welcome!
