Join us tonight for February POWER Outage!
Journal Making and Autobiography Writing Workshop
5:30 tonight
February 1
POWER, 309 5th Avenue SE
in downtown Olympia
next door to Rainy Day Records
You are welcome to bring a potluck dish to share.
From 6 – 8 we will each be creating our own personal journal to take home. And we will discuss different ways of writing in a journal and how to use a journal to write your own life story.
Materials will be provided, and if you have more stuff you want to bring please do. Each person is encouraged to make their journal however they want it! It might be helpful to think ahead of time about how you want it to look and bring stuff to make it that way. It will be optional to share a journal entry but no one will be pressured.
Kids are welcome. Alya from the Olympia Childcare Collective will be on hand for fun and play. Children are also welcome to make journals.
