Writing with the Typewriter
Class with Joseph M. Jablonski
Marshall McLuhan stated, “The medium is the message.”
This class is a 5-day course where students use a genuine antique typewriter to do generative writing, edited rewriting and then pair that with modern technology to move their typewritten pieces into the digital sphere.
Ideal for either seasoned writers who want to try something new in their editing process or new writers who want to utilize these antique machines to create new pieces of work.
Previous keyboard typing experience (especially in younger students) is preferred as it will help students jump-start typewriter usage. Class participation restricted to 13 years and older. Teens, Adults, Seniors.
- Get comfortable using a typewriter to create unique pieces of prose and poetry,
- Edit by-hand and then rewrite pieces to more deeply engage with their work,
- Utilize the red pen and even possibly the literal “cut/copy and paste,” and
- Learn ways they can easily import their typewritten work into digital formats.
Cut off date to register is January 20th. Only 8 spots available.
Sign up early, don’t risk missing out before the class fills up.
