INTRO TO SHORT FICTION
Saturdays June 9, 16, 23, 1-4pm
Buffy Cram who lives part time in Victoria and part time in Berlin has received many excellent reviews of her recent collection of short stories, Radio Belly, including a recent one in this weekend's Globe & Mail.
In this workshop which takes place over three consecutive afternoons, you will learn to access the rich imagination you already have (but perhaps have yet to let it come to the surface). Buffy will instruct you on the basics of the story writing process such as turning a passing thought or an amusing observation into a basis for a story and then how to create a sound literary structure based on some very helpful writing guidelines.
Instructor: Buffy Cram
Special Introductory Price: $125
(for THREE sessions!) |

HELP! DO YOU HAVE A FLAT SCREEN TV?
We are looking for a donation or loan to the school until the end of June for the duration of the Diploma of Fine Arts Graduation exhibition of a flat screen tv that is between 32" to 47" .
Sadly, while one of our graduating diploma students, Catherine Wallace, was setting up her video installation in the Slide Room Gallery, two guys came in and stole her 47" flat screen tv and dvd player. The items were stolen between 11-11:30 am on Friday morning when the gallery was left unattended for that very short time period. The police came but as you might expect, nothing much can be done. The items are probably safely sitting on a shelf in a local pawn shop.
It would be wonderful replace Catherine's tv with a donated one, but if that isn't possible, if somebody could lend one until the end of June that would be so great.
If you have a tv to donate or lend, e would be happy to pick it up at your convenience.
Please contact us if you can help
(p.s. we can offer a tax receipt for any donation)
