Participants in a workshop at Kettle's Yard reflected on their experiences, noting the importance of slowing down, exploring ideas, and using various materials to express themselves. They appreciated the freedom to try new things and the value of the process over the outcome. The workshop, led by Sally Brown, used the work of Agnes Martin as a stimulus, and participants responded with surprise at the richness of possibilities that emerged from simple lines and limited starting points. They planned to apply these insights in their own settings, allowing children more time to explore ideas and using abstract stimuli to encourage creativity. Key takeaways included the importance of slowing down, being creative, and making space for reflection and exploration.
