Being creative is always challenging, and staying creative over the pandemic has been difficult for most of us. This workshop will help you navigate creative obstacles. Artist and mentor Lyla Rye will present relevant research on creativity and the group will engage in a number of hands on exercises designed to liberate their creative minds. Participants will reflect on what worked for whom and consider why, enabling the development of individual techniques to guide you through your creative slump.
