Ekphrastic Writing Workshop
Sat 26 Oct - Sat 23 NovEkphrastic Writing Workshop
What is Ekphrasis?
Ekphrastic poetry has come to be defined as poems written about works of art; however, in ancient Greece, the term ekphrasis was applied to the skill of describing a thing with vivid detail.
We’re going to expand the concept further to encompass any writing inspired by an artwork. Consider it fan fiction for your fave artist.
