About this Event

Friday, November 13

10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Treat yourself to a morning of easy and inspiring writing! Learn about what distinguishes a vignette from a very short story, and practice this written form just for the pure fun of it. Or you can practice vignette writing as an important foundation skill for all your writing projects.

Emily Carr was a master of noticing vignettes, and she brought them to life with exquisite details. Whether you’re a terrified beginner, or an experienced writer, join us to spend a morning in Emily Carr’s shoes and create short pieces of writing that will delight you.

New and repeat participants are welcome!
