Possibilities of Collage Writing

Join us for an Italian dinner buffet and a workshop on collage writing led by Robin Rozanski, an artist in residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. Like visual collage, collage writing brings eclectic pieces together to tell a new story or refresh an old one, and can provide a powerful storytelling alternative to traditional formats.

Great for beginners and advanced writers alike. Reservations requested by April 11.

When: Friday, April 13, 6:00pm-9:00pm

Where: Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast, 2018 6th Ave, 68410

Letter Writing: A Lost Art

Join us for lunch and a fun filled workshop on letter writing.  Workshop led by Robin Rozanski, an artist in residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. Whether it’s to pass along advice to your children as they grow, or to reconnect a friendship, a handwritten letter is satisfying in a way that email and text will never be. Heartfelt correspondence is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Great for beginners and advanced writers alike. Reservations requested by April 11.

When: Saturday, April 14, 11:00am-2:00pm

Where: Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast, 2018 6th Ave, 68410
