Bring Your Stories to Life Through Drawing!

Drawing the Story

Join Jill Howe and Story Sessions resident artist Jules Darling on Sat, July 12th for a fun and hands-on Story Sessions workshop where storytelling meets visual art. In this creative session, you’ll explore how drawing can become a powerful tool for expressing your stories whether you’re building characters, mining your life for true tales, or mapping out a story arc.

Perfect for seasoned storytellers and curious beginners alike, this workshop blends imagination, narrative structure, and simple drawing techniques to help you bring your stories off the page (though we love our writers too: no pressure to abandon the pen!).

All materials will be provided. No drawing experience needed, just bring your creativity and a willingness to experiment!

Saturday, July 12th

Noon-3pm

North Center Location

I took Jill Howe’s class on Storytelling and Vulnerability on a whim. I was looking to do more writing and wanted a fun way to get started. Well, Jill’s class turned out to be much , much more. Her enthusiasm and excellent teaching and encouragement lead me to places I never expected. I was able to write and perform a piece that was difficult and deeply personal. Well with her coaching and the momentum from the class members I did it. Not to mention with Jill’s prodding to I was able to submit and have my story accepted by a publisher! Jill goes above and beyond and is passionate about what she does. She has a plethora of ideas, tips, knowledge and resources. Oh and you can’t help but have her enthusiasm rub off on you!
