Sunday Writers Salon

A collage brings together fragments, textures, images, and unexpected connections, and so does storytelling. In this workshop, writers will use visual collage as a doorway into imagination, narrative, and surprise.

Through guided exercises, participants will transform combinations of images into characters, scenes, emotions, and original stories. Writers will explore how juxtaposition and contrast reveal unexpected themes, how fragments can unlock nonlinear storytelling, and how visual intuition becomes vivid written work.

By the end of the session, a single image can become the seed of an unforgettable story.
