FAQ
What can I expect from a CBAW Workshop?
- CBAW facilitators come prepared with a project to offer. There will be time to discuss craft and talk about the project before your time to create (between 10 and 20 minutes). During the creation time, participants work separately, but together.
- Facilitators will bring a particular medium (poetry, memoir, painting, drawing, etc). Participants are welcome to respond in the medium of their choice.
- At the end, there will be time for participants to share as time permits. There’s never a requirement to share your work.
- It is important to keep our space safe. We do not allow folks to rename themselves once they’ve entered the group. Be sure to change your name as it appears on Zoom before you join, or ask the facilitator to do it on their end.
- After the program, a survey will pop up so you can give us your feedback. We read every comment and strive to make CBAW programs the best that they can be.
