Season 3 of The Creativity for All Podcast has concluded with a fabulous conversation with inventor Solveiga Pakštaite, and this feels like the right time for me to put an end to this fabulous - but time-consuming - adventure, in order to focus on my writing.

Episode 47. Exploring the magic of weaving with Rosie-may Greenbank 46:49

2y ago46:49

46:49

In September 2022, a stall at the Ely market caught my attention, not just because every woven piece was beautiful, but because I saw at the far end of the table a small weaving loom, which made me think, quite rightly, that the creator of these lovely pieces was worth having a chat with. Rosie-may Greenbank is a traditional hand-weaver, cloth desi…

Episode 40. Honing our observation skills 20:04

That observation is a key skill when it comes to any type of creative endeavour seems fairly obvious. That we all have observation skills, even more so. But to what extent are we aware of them, how often are we actively using them, and what can we do to hone them? ABOUT THE CREATIVITY FOR ALL PODCAST A maths teacher can be creative. So can a financ…

35:08

Albert Einstein once said ‘’Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere’’.

Episode 32. Creativity and inspiration 17:48

One of the most powerful clichés about creativity is that of inspiration being an integral part of the creative process. While we’ve established in this podcast that creativity is not just for artists, writers, or craftspeople, that we are all born inherently creative, what of inspiration? Can we be creative without being inspired? Is our creative …

A couple of weeks ago, an article caught my attention on the BBC website. It was the story of how a Mexican doctor had got in touch with the British company making the backpack he’d been using for a year to voice his frustration, because he couldn’t use it anymore. The coronavirus pandemic was raging and his backpack couldn’t be sterilised and take…

That curiosity is key to any creative pursuit might seem obvious. It does not mean, however, that the correlation between the two is easy to pinpoint. In this episode, I’m exploring the nature of curiosity, the obstacles we might encounter when embracing it, such as assumptions and passivity, as well as suggestions to re-energize curiosity and turn…

How often do you listen to your own instinct? Do you trust it, or do you choose logic instead? And, come to think of it, are logic and instinct truly opposites?

Language learning is often seen as difficult and awkward. There are conjugations to learn, pronunciation to master and the risk of sounding silly when speaking in public.

Two years ago, I had a fascinating chat with Rob Leslie at a mutual friend's party.

In other words, I asked him about his creative approach to tea…

It's hard for most of us not to equate the notion of ease with not doing enough, not caring enough, even sometimes, with being casual and unprofessional. And when it comes to creativity, ease is nowhere to be seen. Surely being creative cannot be easy, surely you have to work hard and suffer, in order to be creative? But is it really the case? What…
