Workshops

Workshops are offered in three seasons (winter–spring, summer and fall) at three different levels: 1) Foundational Forms, 2) Contemporary Practice, and 3) Manuscript Review. Workshops typically run for 5–7 weeks, with one three-hour session per week on weeknights or weekend afternoons/early evenings. Some workshops consist of just one or two sessions. Each workshop season culminates in a Workshop Showcase, which all students are invited to participate in. Admission to Levels I and II is by open enrollment; Level-III workshops require a writing sample.

We strongly encourage all in-person workshop participants to wear masks. Workshop participants may be required to wear masks as an accessibility accommodation for other participants or the instructor. Participants agree to abide by our code of conduct and COVID-19 policy.

This season, there are no courses corresponding to your selection.
