Rooted: A Workshop in Image and Language is an interdisciplinary workshop that invites participants to explore several avenues of their creativity through poetry, watercolor painting, and expressive writing. Moving between poetry, visual art, and personal narrative, the workshop creates an accessible and supportive space for creative expression without requiring prior experience. The session begins with a short poem and a prompt, followed by a brief free write. Participants then transition into painting a watercolor, led by Artful Minds, using simple, guided techniques that emphasize process over perfection. After painting, we will read a second poem and a prompt, and once again, participants will free write. If time allows, we will close the workshop by having those who would like to share one of their two writings read to the group. Participants will leave the workshop with two flash pieces and a completed watercolor painting. Please bring a notebook and writing instrument; all painting tools and materials will be provided along with water and snacks. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
