Brief Stories, Whole Lives: A Memoir Workshop

Zay Amsbury

We often think our stories need breadth to matter—years catalogued, chapters accumulated. But what if one incident, rendered with enough attention and honesty, could hold everything? In this one-day workshop, we’ll use imagery and prose poetry to expand a brief anecdote from your life into something larger than itself: a portrait that pulses with all you’ve been and all you carry. Come ready to linger in the particular until the universal opens up. Leave with a short memoir that refuses to be small. Taught by Zay Amsbury, Chair of the Creative Writing Department at the California State Summer School for the Arts, this workshop draws on Zay’s 20-plus years of experience helping writers discover their authentic voices and push creative boundaries. School Policies Students who withdraw 48 hours prior to the first class are eligible for a refund or credit toward another class, less a $25 registration fee. Please click here for more details.

Bound by the Square: Modern Printmaking in 12″x12″

In person

Mark Grindell

In this seven-week studio course, students will explore the art of printmaking through a focused challenge: creating works strictly within a 12” x 12”  format. Participants may work in relief, intaglio, monotype, or monoprint, using primarily water-based inks (other solutions are permitted). Through guided instruction and experimentation, students will develop original designs and concepts that reflect current trends and innovations in contemporary printmaking—all within the creative boundaries of the one-square-foot format. The square format, historically uncommon until the rise of abstraction, presents unique compositional and expressive challenges that foster precision, visual order, and formal structure. This course is designed to support the creation of final works suitable for submission to The Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s Footprint International Competition 2026. All skill levels are welcome. Includes one 3-hour weekly practice session during monitored practice
