Our minds typically rely on a change in scenery and sensory stimulation to break through creative blocks in order to find inspiration from new and varied sources. This online course will teach you unforgettable multisensory techniques to effectively communicate creative projects.
Choux pastry is an unassuming tool that has the power to keep that creator’s block at bay (not to mention it also gets your appetite rolling). This mixed-media workshop encourages you to find inspiration from the most unexpected places and to express yourself in a modality of your choice – writing, poetry, video, photography, painting, drawing, 3D modelling, dancing or beyond. You can go the extra mile and make your own choux pastry in preparation for the workshop (using accessible ingredients like flour, eggs and butter), or get some from a local bakery.
In this course, you will make your way through a creative and reflective exercise, personalized to you, but with choux! It will be personal, specific and full of no wrong answers. Feel free to go at your own pace, but remember, engage with the process. This will leave you feeling unblocked, inspired and refreshed for your daily tasks ahead. By the end of this course, you will learn how to deliver compelling, multisensory presentations for any creative project.
Who this is for:
This program is NOT designed to make you an expert choux-pastry maker. This workshop is ideal for budding/practising architects, interior designers, product designers, writers, photographers, creative chefs or anyone from transdisciplinary backgrounds looking to get out of a rut and switch gears to push the boundaries to transform their creative practise and express themselves in a unique way.
