Creativity and a Sense of Place workshop

Creativity and a Sense of Place workshop

 

As part of the Literally Salem Festival, I led a workshop for writers on Saturday exploring the ways in which a sense of place and creativity intersect. We looked at several aspects of this pairing: where you write, where you live, places you know, and places that live in your imagination. It was great to have so many people participate and share their experiences of writing and location.

For one exercise, I gave out a handout designed to spark the creative process. You can get a copy by clicking here Worksheet handout PDF.

Czech Republic covers

Here’s an interesting take on visuals for The Lace Reader. They used lace to construct images for the cover and then made a piece of lace for the inside cover that incorporates many of the elements from the book. Very clever! Click on an image to enlarge it.
