LIA Cast 287 - Designing a Workshop Experience

As we level up at making things, we might be called upon (or feel a calling) to share our knowledge and experience with others. But how do you unpack what you do in order to help others understand how to do it for themselves? How can we use perspective taking and self-interview to help create an experience that will lead others to their own leveling up and coming back for more? Join Jerzy and Rob for a discussion on how they think about teaching what they do.

LIA Cast 201 - The Influence of Constraint (Rebroadcast)

And old saw we haven’t used on the Lean Into Art Cast in some time is “limitations breed creativity.” What we typically mean by this is that limiting one’s choices in a creative endeavor removes ambiguity and often provides a starting point. It can also present interesting creative problems to solve.

But what about the tools or platform you choose? Don’t they introduce constraints as well? Can these constraints enhance the work, or are they a roadblock we have to work around? When do we abandon the tool or platform altogether?

Join us for a discussion on the unforeseen influence in the tools you use.
