Now that I have worked with three groups, conducting Workshop #2, I have discovered a delightful pattern: no one is at the same place in the process as they progress through it. Like a long hike or race, everyone stands at the starting line together, but then they move at their own pace, meandering to and fro. This is the way my classroom ran, a true studio, full of many works at various stages of development, all occupying the same space. It’s a beautiful thing to behold; it’s real. Imagine a creative space of learning where everyone is on the same page, imagine parenting a home this way. I can’t.
