ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
In this generative writing workshop, we’re going to use movement, the out-of-doors, and our senses to spark creativity. First, we’ll discuss how sensory details and descriptive language will enrich your writing (whether it’s fiction or non-fiction). Then we’ll take a walk through Grant Park where we’ll do some observing and brainstorming and note-taking. Finally, we’ll head back inside for some quiet writing time. We will close with time for a few volunteers to share what they’ve written or their plan for future writing.
During our time together we will:
Take a short walk in Grant Park
Brainstorm and talk
Write
Share what we wrote (volunteers only!)

Meet Christy
Hi! I’ve taught hands-on creativity, art, and craft classes, workshops, and camps all over Atlanta. I was a Teaching Artist at the High Museum of Art for 10+ years, and I’ve also taught hands-on creativity workshops, activities, and camps at MODA (Museum of Design Atlanta), Clubhouse Kid + Craft, Atlanta Public Schools, Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony, Purpose Possible, Little Art School, Art on the Beltline, Paradise Garden, Agnes Scott College, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and more!
Additionally, I’ve hosted my own workshops and retreats through the Indie Craft Experience, which I co-founded in 2005 and co-owned until 2023. I’ve been an artist/crafter/maker since I was old enough to pick up a pencil and use scissors (so something like 45-ish years!).
I love sharing ideas and techniques with others, and I believe workshops are a great way to re-charge your creativity. I’m my absolute happiest when I’m making and creating. I hope to pass this joy and happiness along to others.
I look forward to making art with you!
-Christy
