Are you an aspiring writer, game designer, artist or just someone who loves creating new worlds? Join us at Pinecone Studio for a crash course in world building! Learn how to craft unique settings, cultures, and histories that will bring your stories to life. Whether you're diving into fantasy realms, crafting futuristic societies or simply making changes to our current world, this event is perfect for beginners looking to hone their world-building skills. Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity and build the world of your dreams!

For Part 1, bring note-taking devices and your ideas! There will be the expectation of some work being completed after part 1 to share during the second part of this program. You may use any creative medium in this program - including digital.

Guided by Katherine Souza:

Katherine Souza is a visual storyteller and writer currently living in Maine. After being raised on a steady diet of books, games, and films, she makes narrative art that crosses between literary, interactive, and visual media.

She earned her BFA in Illustration and Game Arts at the Maryland Institute College of Art, with a small interlude to study Visual Communication at the Alberta University of the Arts. Her passion and admiration for narrative art comes through the themes of ontology, paleontology, and semiotics.

She has put passion into practice through game design, writing, and illustration. She hopes to bring her worlds to life for others to live in and enjoy.

Cost is $75 per ticket (One ticket covers both part 1 and part 2 of this program)
