What story do you tell over and over? What landscape do you cherish the most? One of the deepest human instincts is to tell our life stories\, to figure out who we are and what it means to be human. This interactive workshop led by Maura MacNeil explores how the landscapes of our lives shape the stories that we tell. Participants explore the themes of family\, memory\, and place through sample narratives and a series of short writing exercises\, gaining a deeper awareness of how their stories can preserve personal\, generational\, and communal history. \nAdmission is free\, pre-registration recommended. \n \n Register for Family\, Memory\, Place\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Presenter:\nMaura MacNeil is a writer\, editor\, and teacher.

Drawing is a powerful tool for quiet reflection\, insight\, and imagination. To look at and closely observe a shell\, a leaf\, or a feather by drawing it\, can reveal an entirely new way of seeing. Come play with us as we draw directly from small objects from nature in front of us. Various papers\, drawing tools\, and natural objects will be provided. All levels of skill are welcome. \n$10 member/$15 non-member\nRecommended for ages 10+\nBook Now!\n \nAbout Susan Spellman\nSusan has a studio workshop in Newburyport MA\, where she pursues a dual career as a fine artist and as an illustrator with extensive experience in painting\, portraiture\, and children’s book illustration. She began her career as a staff illustrator working for an educational filmstrip company illustrating fairy tales and folklore. In addition to over 35 books\, Susan has also illustrated stories for children’s magazines\, such as Highlights for Children and Cricket and for anthologies such as A Treasury of Christmas Tales and A Treasury of Bedtime Stories.
