workshops

Yay for teaching workshops!

I love teaching workshops.

I love the energy.

I love creating a space where people have room to try out ideas, to think about their work differently, and to be a little kinder to themselves about the things they are trying to do.

And today’s group was filled with especially wonderful people who enjoyed taking that little bit of time for their creativity.

And I enjoyed helping them.

Pieces of a story

On Friday, I took a really fun workshop on creating stories.

The workshop leader, N, had a huge pile of small items in a box and after putting us in pairs he asked us to select a few items to craft a story from.

My story-partner J and I were really on the same metaphorical page and we had a great time crafting our story.

What kind of story could you make from these objects?

a brown tabletop with a green notebook and a pencil on it. On top of the notebook is a metal stick figure with its hands in the air. Next to the notebook is an amber coloured phial, a little ways to the right is a small bouquet of tiny flowers and a metal key, to the right of that is a large rock and to the right of that is a broken white brooch
