Patrycja Humienik - Water as Method

Online workshop | 14 July 2026 | 18.00-20.00 (BST) 12.00-14.00 (CDT)

What can water teach us about craft? In this generative workshop, we will explore approaches that different bodies of water offer for considering image and syntax in our writing across genre. We will read together, try out generative writing exercises, including (optional) embodied experiments.⁠ This developing experiment, "Water is Method," is informed by bodies of water and the work of Natalie Diaz, Terrance Hayes, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and CA Conrad, among others. Whether you seek to deepen an understanding of image and syntax; want to explore water as method in your writing process; have a connection with a specific body of water to write into; seek tools for writing into grief over a changing climate; or are simply hoping to set aside focused time alongside other writers to write, read, and discuss—you are invited. Open to writers of any genre.
