826LA@Hammer: Stories in Our Hands: Object-Based Memoir

Sunday, August 16, 2026•11:00 AM

In this memoir essay workshop, participants will bring a meaningful object from home—a photograph, keepsake, book, or everyday item—and use it as a doorway into their personal story. Through guided sensory prompts and writing exercises, students will explore how this object connects to their background, family traditions, identity, and hopes for the future.
