£35.00

Date: Saturday 25th Octobre 12025

Time: 6-9pm

Join me for an evening workshops, sharing ideas over a glass of wine with like-minded people.

Description:

This course guides participants in narrative-based design, emphasising a return to powerful storytelling. By delving into historic, folkloric, and personal timelines, you'll cultivate depth and long-term thinking for your craft. The workshop explores how to build an intimate narrative foundation for visual and conceptual research.

The course highlights how seasonal traditions and 10,000 years of cultural history shape craft, empowering you to create meaningful, lasting creative narratives.

As Ian states, "The culture of consuming has changed. Instead of making products, craft stories."

Topics Covered:

  • Creating a Creator's Compendium File: Developing a comprehensive resource for your creative journey.

  • Folklore & Other Falsehood: Utilising traditional narratives and imaginative concepts in your work.

  • Defining a Grand Narrative: Cultivating an overarching story for your creative practice.

  • Offering Small Scale Resistance: Exploring subtle yet impactful ways to express your narrative.

  • Personal Diagnostic: Performing a self-assessment to identify optimal creative pathways.

  • Chapters, Fables, Narrative, or Mood: Structuring and expressing your stories through various forms.
