art meets creative writing.
About this Event
Join us in a cozy, candlelit space for an intimate workshop where visual
art meets creative writing. Together, we’ll explore NYC-based paintings as gentle
prompts, write at our own pace, and have the opportunity to share in a
supportive, welcoming environment that encourages curiosity, connection, and
creativity.
You are invited to join our Writers’ Circle at Studio Kash, where each week we explore different facets of creative writing, always in a supportive, collegial atmosphere.
First: Settle in amidst the candles with tea and wine. Then: The instructor offers a
compelling prompt, and for a time, everyone writes. There are no rules about what to
write, or how much: the only rule is to follow the prompt. Of course, whether you choose
to share your writing is up to you. Next: A brief interlude to converse and enjoy
refreshments. Finally: The writing process begins once more.
No pressure, no outside noise (cells on DND, please)--only the quiet thrill of creation.
Whatever your preferred form—poetry, fiction, or non-fiction—this series is designed to
spark ideas and deepen your personal practice. Leave inspired, with fresh writing, and,
who knows, maybe even a new friend.
This week’s theme draws inspiration directly from our studio location, a functional art
gallery in the heart of Northport, NY. For this workshop series, ekphrasis is the practice
of letting artwork serve as inspiration, inviting you to explore the moods, stories, and
hidden emotions within each piece. Our goal is not merely to describe what we see in
the artwork, but engage with it in a creative way—answer a question it can’t speak
aloud, describe what it feels like inside the scene, or imagine what is just outside of the
walls of the frame.
Ekphrasis is the thrill of feeling your pen rush to capture what the artwork can’t say for
itself. It’s a way to hone our observational skills as writers and unlock fresh
ideas—every ekphrasis is an invitation to find your voice, experiment with perspective,
or discover unexpected directions for your work. Simply put, it’s exhilarating: art
becomes a partner, a provocateur, and a doorway into stories you didn’t know you had
inside.
Each attendee recieves a personalized Notebook and pen for Writer's Circle at Studio Kash sessions.
