Conscious Creativity: The Workbook by Philippa Stanton

Conscious Creativity: The Workbook by Philippa Stanton

Drawing on the success of her breakout book Conscious Creativity, artist Philippa Stanton dares you to throw away technique and open the door to free creative movement with this hands-on workbook.

Acknowledging the power of chance and experimentation, this is a safe space in which to scribble, sketch, tear, scratch, fold, weave – anything that Philippa’s playful prompts inspire you to do. There are no rules here: choose an activity at the back of the book or start at the beginning; pick an exercise on light and shadow, paint your own colour chart or build a collage of found items, whatever makes your creative juices flow.

Packed with simple suggestions to open our eyes to the beauty of ordinary things, this workbook draws on themes including randomness, colour, texture and the senses to encourage us to connect with things we might not normally notice. Breathtaking original photography acts as a catalyst to inspire us to take a chance with new ideas, follow up coincidences and find new ways of expressing our creativity.

Prompts encourage you to take risks and express yourself impulsively, from drawing random spontaneous lines on a page to writing a not to a stranger to creating a textured collage out of sticky tape and other found objects.

Conscious Creativity: The Workbook is a liberating place to be random, get things wrong and make a beautiful mess.

"Full of fun ways to nurture and extend one’s creative juices and feel free to create in your own way..I suspect you’ll be excited the minute Conscious Creativity: The Workbook lands in your hands and find it to be a great companion on your creative journey." * Ann Kullberg's COLOR Magazine *
