Creative Writing as Chicken Soup for the Soul

Looking for a recipe to ignite your creativity and soothe November blues? Join Tett Artist in Residence Sophia Fabilili to work through creative writing exercises that will get your creative juices flowing as you noodle on some new ideas. The workshop will culminate in a playful collaborative activity that will help sift through the emotions — spicy, bland, or otherwise! — we all feel this time of year, and will contribute to an interactive installation on the Tett community wall. A great opportunity for writers and non-writers alike!
