The Art of Text Workshop blends techniques of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual arts to generate creative writings through the art of the book.

Workshop is limited to 15 participants. Held on the picturesque campus of Kenyon College, June 25-July 1.

Whether you are a writer curious to write in more genres, or an artist wishing to deepen your engagement with text, this workshop promises to open up a variety of creative practices to generate new content and form.

This class is team taught by Gretchen E. Henderson and Ellen Sheffield.

From a 2014 participant: “I loved the attitude of play, of productive failure and corrective, creative embellishment–I’m learning to think about my text as material not only in forming it but also in re-vising and deforming it. Conferences were really helpful; I loved having open studio time; the space of the workshop was so friendly and warm and engaging that many of us stayed in the studio through meals, late into the night. This is perhaps the most productive creative environment I’ve ever encountered.”
