Writing Workshops

We offer in-town, field-based, and online creative writing workshops and retreats. All online workshops take place over the course of several weeks, and our in-person workshops range in length from one day to ten weeks. Please explore this page to discover the opportunity best for you.

Unless otherwise noted, our writing workshops and retreats are limited to ten participants each so we can have a maximal amount of comfort and time. To register, please fill out our online registration form or call us at 971-227-0305.

Please note, we want to make our workshops as accessible as possible. If cost is your only deterrent, let's talk. The economy may be suffering, but we don't need to! We have a limited number of scholarships available for folks who would not otherwise be able to attend. To find out more about our scholarships, please email us at becca@ibexstudios.com.

More workshops are always in the works! Check back soon for updates!

IN-TOWN WORKSHOPS

The Spaces In Between:
A living room series workshop

Dates: Four Thursdays, June 28-July 19, 2012
Time: 7-9 pm
Location: 4424 SE Ivon
Facilitator: Becca Deysach
Fee: Sliding scale, $80-100, includes tea and treats!

The spaces in between: Purple dusk, a pregnant pause, tidal pools teeming with life, the synapses between neurons, seven years of singledom and the moment before everything changes...

In this four-week workshop we will explore these things and more through the innovative writing exercises we are known for. Together we will fill our notebooks with stories we didn't even know we had, share our writing, and give supportive feedback. You will also have the opportunity to work on a piece of writing at home and receive feedback on it during our last session.

This workshop is a great opportunity for new writers to get comfortable with writing and sharing their work, and provides the time, space, support, and inspiration experienced writers crave for generating new material. Tea and treats make it even better. This workshop is suitable for writers of all genres.
