Workshop: The Art of the Commonplace Book with Lindsey Trout Hughes

​Commonplace books are personal notebooks that act as a collection of knowledge—ideas, quotes, anecdotes, and passages, gathered and copied down for individual use.

​Join writer and editor Lindsey Trout Hughes of Fox in the Dark for a 60-minute workshop on how and why to keep a commonplace book to deepen creativity.

​We’ll explore the history of commonplacing, artistic benefits, and tools for developing your own commonplace book practice.

​Please bring a new notebook, a pen, and a book you're excited to read. 

​This workshop is for writers, artists, and anyone interested in cultivating mindful reading habits and improving creative wellbeing.

​Can't make it live? This workshop will be recorded. A link to the video and additional resources will be sent to all registrants afterward.
