Cool ways to use this workshop…
Break out of a creative rut: mix up your routine, immerse yourself in an exciting yet unfamiliar medium, and shake off those creative cobwebs
Go on creative “do not disturb” mode: go inward and explore what you ~actually~ want to make without the noise of what other people think you should make
Gift yourself a day of play: spend some much-needed time away from your desk and reconnect with the spark that comes from having fun with your work
