Story Telling and Book Making

DC students and their teachers join us for an unforgettable, two-hour collaborative storytelling workshop. We lead students through the building blocks of short-form creative writing, including the story mountain framework, character development, and dialogue. Students leave as published authors, with their own publication, fully illustrated and bound in 826DC’s one-of-a-kind bookbinding studio.
