Today was my first workshop for 2014 - a stick art dolls workshop ... This was a repeat of a workshop offered quite a few times recently , so I started thinking why do creative people love workshops and why they are good for you. Here are 10 reasons I've thought of ... I am sure you may have others?
1. An inspiring workshop tutor can motivate to improve your work, change the direction of your work or try something new and different.
2. A workshop offers a supportive and encouraging environment where you can learn a new skill (s) and/or experience different approach ( either from the tutor or fellow participants)

3. Being with other artists assists you in finding solutions to problems as well as making new contacts and friends.

4. A workshop allows you to experiment and try new/ different genres, media, products and equipment. .

5. During a workshop, you have the time to "think" about your own art and the "what, where, how and why" of your creative processes as well as how to apply new skills.
6. You will, in most workshops, have a completed creation/product to take home and admire.
7 . A workshop is fun!
8. In a workshop, you discover that you are able to offer advice as well as receive it.
9. A workshop nurtures the "inner child" - appeals to curiosity, creative play and expression.

10 . The best reason for investing the time and money to a creative workshop is that you will feel great - positive, inspired and motivated, having spent some time with like minded people.
