Over three weeks, work closely with this master teacher as he guides you through craft techniques gleaned from these genres to show you how to gain more access to your intuitive resources. In the workshop, everyone will draft new work and revise pre-existing pieces, using a process that brings together intuition and craft in unique ways.
