A fiction leads with voice: the narrative voice of the novel, as well as each character’s unique sound, style, and perspective, from protagonist to supporting cast. Whatever the plot, YA books embrace the keen energy of coming of age and draw the reader into an intimate reading experience. In this workshop, designed for beginners as well as seasoned writers, we’ll explore what it takes to establish the voice and mood of your story. In a community-building environment, we’ll: • Identify the promise you’ll make to your reader, and hone in on how to keep it. • Connect to the texture of the experience you want to create on the page. And, most importantly: Write in your YA voice. Remembering back to your own life at the age of your characters, we’ll work on capturing a voice that is honest and authentic.

In this workshop, students will learn about the origins of Kintsugi, the Japanese ‘art of golden repair,’ and its meaning as it relates to one’s own life. Instructor Luis Santiago explains, “In these uncertain and crazy times, I believe people can find some solace and comfort in realizing that their so called “scars” and imperfections are things that do not need to be hidden or ashamed of.” While the traditional craft of Kintsugi can take multiple months to complete, mastery in application, and involves toxic lacquer, the techniques used in this workshop to repair two ceramic pieces and embellish these pieces in two distinct Kintsugi-inspired ways brings it to a much wider audience and allows for completion in one workshop. All materials are included. Students will learn two distinct ways of highlighting the breaks of their provided ceramic pieces and will take home a unique piece. Ages 17+ are welcome. • Military and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschoolers: Contact us for enrollment details. Stay Connected with San Diego Craft Collective!
