Come along on the Fool’s Journey and write your way through the rich archetypes and symbology of the Tarot. In this four-week class, we’ll explore the three lines of the Major Arcana, using the cards as inspiration for writing our own stories, essays, or poems. Each week we’ll focus on an aspect of narrative within the Tarot (as conceptualized by Rachel Pollack and illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith). Our time together will consist of generative writing prompts and ekphrastic activities designed to spark associations and deepen your connection to the imagery and interpretations of the Tarot. No prior knowledge or experience necessary. This class welcomes any writer or card reader from novice to expert: it’s equal parts Tarot exposure and community of writers. Join us!
The class is inviting to read at an Open Mic on April 19th at 7:00!
About the teacher: Melissa is a poet and writer, the author of three books. She has more than sixteen years of experience as a writing teacher and decades of experience reading Tarot for herself and others.
Using the texts of Joseph Albers and Johannes Itten we will talk about Color.
We will play a synesthetic game of musical paintings and watch a slideshow of paintings that illustrate the color contrasts of Johannes Itten. We will mix colors with a cursory discussion of new and historic pigments. Each student will make a painting the subject of which is Harmony, and we will see where trying to pin down the idea of color harmony leads.
Make a Marionette with a British control!

Vermont based painter and puppet-maker, Julia Zanes will teach this marionette building class using skills and designs handed down from Mrs. Barbara Richards of “The Small World Theater” in Hopkinton NH. This “British Control” style of marionette is easier to make and control and leaves much elbow room for personal vision while still making a marionette that can “imitate life”.

This six session comedy workshop is designed to make performing stand-up comedy less daunting!
Over six weeks, we will alternate between “content” workshop sessions and open mic workshop sessions. In “content” sessions, we will watch comedy sets by pros and discuss what makes them great. We will break down their jokes, their stage personas, and the structures of their sets and learn from them what works and doesn’t.
Then, on open mic weeks, we’ll take our skills to the mic!
This workshop is specifically meant for people underrepresented in traditional comedy spaces, though all are welcome. No experience necessary/all levels of experience welcome!
$150
ENTROPY is an in person, generative writing workshop hosted by L Scully. The two hour class aims to produce the beginnings of 2+ new pieces of writing based on original prompts provided live and in session. We will discuss our artistic interpretations of ENTROPY as a theme in reference to our personal and collective creative practices, as well as sharing work by writers who add to our understanding of Disorder as a concept. This class is designed to be cross-genre and is open to new and seasoned writers alike.
We will brainstorm, create, discuss, and share work in a supportive and conversational setting.
We are living in a conundrum of degradation. our bodies age, the State is falling, disorder(s) run rampant in our minds. God feels random and chaos feels inevitable. There is no choice but to write toward uncertainty. What does the end of the world look like to you as an artist? What does the future look like for writers whose worlds have already ended? Cope, world-build, freak out, investigate together.
