One of the best ways to get started writing is by playing in other people’s sandboxes. The art of fanfiction will explore the history of the genre, from The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost to Star Trek Conventions and modern sites like AO3. Throughout this course, we’ll explore how fanfiction is always in conversation with the original text, how to get your characters to sound like the original source material and the types of fanfic you can write.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of fresh writing, peer feedback, and practical tools to continue your writing journey beyond the workshop.

Come ready to write, share, and grow.

This six-week painting course explores how narrative can be built through the relationship between figure, environment, and color.

Working in acrylic or oil, students will develop one narrative painting from concept to completion, beginning with brainstorming personal or imagined stories and translating them into visual form through thumbnail sketches and compositional planning.

As the course progresses, students will focus on blocking in figures and spaces, using gesture and body language to clarify meaning, and exploring how color, limited palettes, and atmosphere can communicate emotion.

The final weeks emphasize refinement, symbolism, and visual cohesion, culminating in a group critique centered on storytelling, emotional readability, and narrative impact.

All supplies will be provided via the supply fee.
