Writing from The Heart

"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama. There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners. A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

Tin cans of different shapes and sizes serve both the artist and the writer well. For the writer, they function as containers for nibs, monolith erasers, spare parts of pens, staple wires, binder clips, and such.

A monolith eraser has a soft, white half and a rough, gray half. The latter is used to gently erase ink marks, instead of using a pen knife.
