About the Event

A Halloween creative writing workshop for children.

Have you ever thought about what it takes to make up a monster?

There’s a lot more to it than glowing eyes or sharp teeth. In this Halloween workshop, young writers will have the chance to use their imaginations to create their own monster… or alien, ghost, witch, or some other creepy character.

In this creative writing workshop especially for children, attendees can enjoy exploring the dark side of their imaginations in a safe and productive way, while exploring the different elements writers use to make an otherworldly character seem real.

Please bring a pen or pencil, plus some paper to write and draw on. Some crayons and color pencils will be provided. You can also bring your own coloring pens.

Instructor: Laurie Lamson
