We all have so many stories to tell. The question is: how can we tell them?

Using such things as photographs, souvenirs, mementos and other items you have at home, this class will give you the opportunity to compile a memoir of events from your life. The work created during your time with us will be suitable for uploading to social media or publishing online.
