FREE Open Studio:  Memoir Writing


Have you always wanted to write down the family stories you share at holidays? We can help you get them down on paper (or computer doc) so that your great-grandchildren will learn about the adventures you have had in “olden times.”


On Wednesday afternoons, 2 – 5 pm, our regular Open Studio with have this focus free to all Villagers:  writing your memories down with Claudia Welch and Barbara Gottesman. We start on October 29.  This is the beginning of a series of Open Studios with a memoir writing focus. No experience is necessary.  Do bring a family or childhood photo to get started.  Also bring pen and paper or laptop computer, however you prefer to write.  We also have pens and pads for you in the Art Room.


We will start with telling humorous stories and then writing one sentence and one paragraph to show you how to entice readers.  If you want to read yours aloud, you can.  Each week this Open Studio will help you begin or progress.  Invite your friends and neighbors to join us in this fun and social gathering!


Some suggestions include:  My Most Memorable Childhood Christmas, Celebrating Lunar New Year,  Best Holiday Gift, Holiday Dinner was a Fesast, Best Holiday Surprise, How We Celebrated the Holiday, Trimming the Tree, Lighting the Menorah, Holiday Memories
