The workshop is from 1 to 3 p.m. and costs $25. Bring paper and a pen.
Organizers say the two hour experience will be whir of writing exercises designed to be useful to both novices and seasoned pros. In the end, participants will have a series of passages to ponder, each one a possible portal to a story or poem aching to be made whole. The class is appropriate for teens and adults.
