Description

This workshop will take you into the Lost Letters collection – a repository for all unreceived messages and undelivered packages. There is something inherently dramatic in the “note that never arrived.” In the first half of the workshop, curator Andrew Gaboury will lead you through writing prompts to get the ideas flowing.

Together, you will explore character voice, the context and the action of a scene. In the second half of the workshop, Andrew will provide you with design examples and tips to begin constructing your own misplaced packages and how to photograph them. Of interest to writers, prop-makers and storytellers of all disciplines.
