One key phrase from the course that really stood out for me was happy mistakes. This is the idea of simply trying something and seeing how to ends up! This challenges our inner perfectionism and encourages us to trust the creative process. Why not rip up magazines and stick them together as a collage? Or grab a piece of paper and just doodle? Hunt for those long-lost felt tip pens, paintbrushes, and pencils, and get using them!

Having attended this seminar, I now feel more confident to start being more creative.

I was intrigued by the concept of 'mark making' as I wasn't really sure what it meant. It was interesting to learn how it can help our wellbeing.
