Once Upon A Time: Mining Fairy Tales to Inspire Flash Fiction
This class will take place via video-conferencing (Zoom), Pacific Time.
All Levels | In this fast, furious, and fun class we will use classic fairy tales to devise our own contemporary stories. Prompts will borrow patterns and language to create usable templates for our ideas. You will come out with the start of least two stories, maybe more! We’ll use one well-known and a couple of not-so-well-known Brothers Grimm stories to get the ball rolling and look at stories by Aimee Bender, Ryka Aoki, and Stacey Levine for guidance.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
