This workshop will explore the relationship between inspiration and our own making/thinking. Sky Dair, writer and multidisciplinary artist, will use her own experience in the process of writing her debut poetry collection, It Takes Time to Build Castles, published by Worms in April 2025 as the basis for understanding how research and culture can ease us into understanding our own feelings. It will begin with a tapping meditation, free writing and somatic stamping to shake off any stress that participants come in with. The group will then explore choosing a piece of work (any medium) they admire as a way to springboard off into their own making within an a3 fold down zine. The workshop will explore collage as a mindset rather than a specific art making style and participants will be encouraged to make the work within their zine in the format that feels most expressive for them. There will be an element of focus around writing but it will seek to expand what exists within this format and focus on expanding communication in a neurodivergent friendly way. It will close on some reflections and time given to explore what the group has made and will have plenty of time along the way for questions and informal chats about making, thinking and feeling :)
