Participants learn how to find, tell, create, and publish an autobiographical digital story in an creative environment. Beginning with a story circle, you will share stories, write and record narration, choose photos, video clips, and music, and learn to edit a short digital video of your own true story. The stories can be used for personal enrichment, family life histories, community and team building, training, advocacy, recruiting, fundraising and technology literacy.

At the end of the four-day workshop you will have a 2-3 minute digital story.

“Recollections” is centered on the theme of recalling how the relationships to the natural world led to our survival as a species.  Our relationship with the natural world is constantly shifting and changing over time and over geography…the visual arts of other cultures is a record of this relationship.  As an artist I recollect and create yet another visual image of these myths forming a  connection to these past artists and the natural world.

Fabric of our community

Join us for the opening reception Saturday, September 3 from 7:00-8:30 pm.

Mary Vaneecke: “I love to explore surface design techniques on fabric: painting, discharging, decorative stitching, embellishing, printing, and image transfer. Most of my work is then layered and stitched. These final stitches always add a critical design element–texture and dimension–to a piece; they are integral to my work. “
