The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity - Carl Jung
Hypercrafting is a powerful tool to help us tap into our own infinite well of creativity. The technique uses play to jumpstart the imagination and get the creative juices flowing. Hypercrafting is about the process not the product. It is great for moving past mental blocks of any kind and an ideal activity to energize your mind for 2013.
A hypercraft is a somewhat hastily produced piece of art, usually inspired by some found objects and added to with other things such as pen, watercolor, whiteout, fabric, stickers, etc. A hypercraft is not required to be made hastily, but generally is assembled in a state of excited, somewhat impatient, creativity; almost haphazard and with a willingness to accept mistakes and keep moving.
The day’s schedule:
- Introduction to Hypercrafting
- Discussion of historical Hypercrafters, including Carl Jung
- Shaina walks you through the Hypercrafting process
- Spend an afternoon unlocking your creativity while making your own Hypercrafts
