Expressive Art & Writing Workshop–four consecutive Wednesdays, May 21 to June 11, from 1 to 3 p.m

Expressive Art & Writing Workshop

Recharge your creativity and experience the joy of writing and drawing from the intuitive, imagistic right-side of the brain. Amy J. Barry, writer, and expressive arts educator will lead this workshop for adults. She will employ imaginative prompts and exercises, inspired by the beautiful natural surroundings at Dudley Farm; historical items in the 19^th-century farmhouse; and art & artifacts in the Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum.

We will do this work together in a supportive group environment. Previous writing or drawing experience is not necessary. Required supplies for class: A small set of oil pastels, writing notebook or journal.

Classes will be held on four consecutive Wednesdays, May 21 to June 11, from 1 to 3 p.m., downstairs in the yellow Munger Barn at Dudley Farm. The four-week session is $100 with a portion of the fee to benefit the Dudley Farm Museum. Spaces are limited. Register by May 12 online or send a check payable to the Dudley Foundation. Please include your email on the check so we can confirm your registration. Send it to the Dudley Farm Museum, 2351 Durham Road, Guilford CT 06437.
