2–4pm
Bill McBride Studio
658 K-177 Highway
Matfield Green, KS

Join artist-in-residency Aimee Inglis for a participatory writing workshop for all levels hosted at Bill McBride’s studio along K-177 Highway just north of Matfield Green. 

In this workshop, attendees will learn about a range of docupoetic styles and practices, explore elements of their own family history and relationship to place, and have the opportunity to practice new tools of the craft. Through these poetic practices, history is brought forward into the present and better understood, rooting us more deeply to who we are, where we come from, and where we are now.

Please bring whatever writing materials you’re most comfortable with, as well as a device that can connect to the internet for potential research (phone is fine, laptop if you prefer!)
