Dream House
Taught by Ellen Seiden
Ages 8 – 12
Sunday, February 28, 2010
12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
This workshop takes place at 826LA West

Dream up, design, and describe the spectacular home in which you’d love to live. You’ll be inspired by photos, pictures, and stories about spectacular custom houses, castles, and fantasy creations. Your imagination is the key to creating your own amazing residence. For this workshop, we ask one thing only: that you leave all things plain and ordinary at the door.

Native Angeleno and UCLA graduate Ellen Seiden writes magazine articles for children, teens, and adults on a variety of subjects. She won a children’s humor-writing contest, wrote a teen fantasy novel, and taught middle school history, English, and creative writing. Her favorite pastime is reading, and she loves all things historical, fantastical, feline (her cat Cleo would be delighted), and family-oriented. Ellen and her husband have raised a son and a daughter, so she knows (or believes she does) how you guys think.
