In this workshop, we will explore ways to create rich, immersive settings. Techniques will include looking at visual sources, zooming in on details, thinking about space, and using all five senses. We will focus on historical settings as a way to sharpen our eyes, ears and vocabulary, but the skills practiced in this workshop will be appropriate for stories in all time periods.
