This course will entail talking about creativity as a mean to socialize and make functional crafts/images or objects that each participant feels comfortable in doing or even sharing with the class. Each participant is invited to come with something to create/paint/embroider, sew, etc. This open-ended concept is to re-create a social forum where participants talk about a subject (usually suggested by the instructor) while tending to the individual creation at the same time. Participants are invited to demonstrate and talk about each artifact/creation and share/narrate the process.
