I ran a lateral thinking,
problem solving workshop with a group of science students as part of encouraging
wide thinking skills at the Maxwell Centre today. It was a challenging one involving
touch, silence, instructions and sign language but as ever I was struck by the 'can
do' attitude in the room. There were some exciting outcomes of activity and
process which I will be taking back into my own practice...Meanwhile there is a
small but very intense and exquisite exhibition of samplers at the Fitzwilliam
in Cambridge http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/gallery/samplers/ the work is so
detailed and precise it's important to remember that it was undertaken by hand
and often by very young girls.
