Flora & Fauna: Nature Writing – Come to Your Senses at Becky Johnson Center

Incorporate nature into your work using all your senses. This is an in-person program. Registration is required.

Ready to get curious about nature and put words on a page? To convey the wonder takes more than recording what you see. Practice writing that employs all five senses. Try strategies for fresh descriptions, metaphors, and sentence rhythm. Play a game to mix things up and inspire creativity. The class is open to all levels. Register in advance.

Bring a notebook and a pen.
