Up until I read the inspiring book, Creative Confidence, by Tom & David Kelly, I thought I was exposing people to a string of techniques or tactics that would help them to be more creative. In part, I guess that is true, but the books great truth is that we all already know how to be creative. We just need to awaken our confidence. The class and this site are focused on experiential, project-based learning. If you are confident about creative skill in making a cake, you know what creativity feels like. That will help you in making a painting, writing that long dreamt of book, or leaving a job that is stale, to start something new.

I was one of those kids who loved going to school (mostly). I was fortunate, and got my Architecture degree at an experimental school where I found ‘my tribe.’ After 2 years in the ‘real world,’ I went to graduate school for my Masters in Sculpture. After another few years in an office, I returned to get my MFT (marriage, family, child psychology degree).

I am one of those people who rather than just liking teaching >> LOVES IT!.
