Persistence of Memory Memoir Writing Workshop

Thursday, December 8, 10:00 am – 12 noon

Margo Hammond, former book editor of the St. Petersburg Times and founder of the Creative Late Bloomers blog, will conduct a workshop using specific Dalí paintings and writings as catalysts for memoir writing. After studying the paintings in class, participants will be encouraged to mine their own pasts, particularly their childhoods, refine those memories and artistically transform them into a story that reflects their personal experiences – just as Dalí did both on the canvas and on paper.

$65; $55 Dalí Members. Workshop in the Dalí Museum Education Classroom. Lite refreshments and coffee included. Lunch from Cafe Gala can be purchased day of for $10 per-person. Click here to register and purchase tickets for the workshop.
