“Object Lessons” writing workshop

“A photograph is an honest shortcut to remembering who we were.” – Julian Pope

If you’re not sure how to begin writing your memoir or family history, you won’t want to miss this free community workshop at Clawson’s Blair Memorial Library in June. “Object Lessons” will help you craft a short essay or chapter for your memoir using a favorite family photo, souvenir, or a small heirloom as inspiration. I promise you’ll enjoy the process, meet new friends, and be inspired to keep writing after the workshop ends.

This is a two-night program — so plan to attend both sessions. Our first night of “Object Lessons” will cover the basics of good writing and editing, plus a homework assignment to write about your photo or special object. On the second night, you’ll share your completed essay in class along with your chosen photo or heirloom. 

Seating is limited. To register, call the Blair Memorial Library and ask to reserve your place for “Object Lessons: How to Write Your Life Stories Using Photographs or Family Heirlooms.”  Phone: 248-588-5500. 
WORKSHOP DATES:

Wednesday, June 3    6:15PM to 7:30PM
Wednesday, June 10   6:15PM to 7:30PM  

This class is offered free to the public. (You don’t have to be a Clawson resident.) Additional free adult programs are listed on the library’s website under “Programs & Summer Reading.”
