Life Storytelling
November 7th | 2-4pm | Meadows B
$30 per person.
Learn how to capture the life story of someone you love! Have you always wanted to get the memories and stories of a family member (or yourself) down on paper?
In this two-hour training session, you will learn tips and tricks from life storyteller, Maureen Klues, along with easy ways to get started in the storytelling process while also developing skills for more meaningful conversations with those you love. Maureen will share with you the step-by-step guide that has successfully helped her tell over 80+ life stories.
She will also provide each participant a copy of her newly released book, Memory to Memoir: A Step-By-Step Guide to Capture the Life Story of Someone You Love, to ensure that you have the tools necessary to move forward in your storytelling journey.
Must be 13+ and accompanied by an adult.
Hat, Journal, and Purse Burning
November 8th | 1-4pm | Meadows B
This is your chance to step in, get creative, and walk out with pieces that are completely your own.
Design a custom hat, purse, or journal from the ground up—bands, accessories, styling, all of it. Then take it a step further and hand-burn your own genuine suede journal cover. No two pieces come out the same, and that’s the whole point.
Use our stencils or go fully freehand. Whether you come in with a vision or no idea where to start, we’ll guide you through the process and help bring it to life.
This is more than a workshop—it’s an experience. The kind where people walk in unsure and leave saying, “Wait… I made this?”
