Creative Thinking Workshop, Gallery Elena Shchukina

'The real currency of our time isn’t money. It’s ideas. You’re surrounded by ideas. Films, products, books, music, messages, services and everything in your culture began life as a vision in someone’s head.’ – Rod Judkins

Ever felt stuck in a creative rut, unable to think originally or think at all? Gallery Elena Shchukina’s latest workshop, led by best-selling author, Rod Judkins, aims to help you hone your conceptual thinking with practical, everyday exercises.

As a lecturer on creativity at Central St Martin’s art school and a leader of workshops at Apple, Judkins is well versed in demonstrating how creative thinking is crucial for all walks of life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor, artist, businessman, or web designer, as Richard Kilgarriff observes, ‘whatever job you are doing today, [Judkins] will help you do it better tomorrow.’

In his book, Ideas Are Your Only Currency, Judkins contends that in a fast-changing, technology-charged world, skills come and go. Ideas, on the other hand, put you ‘at the heart of things’ and keep you relevant in an unpredictable job market. Drawing on his books in this one-time workshop, Judkins will lead you in design-based exercises that will help you to think of creativity, not as 'a switch that's flicked on or off', but as 'a way of seeing, engaging and responding to the world around you'.

Book now to avoid disappointment.
