This workshop is delivered in person by Sonia Nicolson and is aimed at final-year University and Master’s students.

This workshop pushes participants out of their comfort zone and asks them to design an object in a day.

The aim is to offer the students a day away from the norm of their own studies and challenges them with something new and different so they can return to their own work feeling a little revived and ready to face their work with fresh eyes.

How it works

Carefully planned out to meet staged deadlines, participants move through each stage of the design process with positive support and guidance, challenges, and encouragement.

• We start with a simple project brief and a big-thinking brainstorming session

• We then break off to conceptualize, coming up with initial ideas and testing them; redesigning until each person has created their final design

Workshop size: 10-15 (works best in smaller groups of highly focused participants)

Workshop length: 8hrs

Please note: All workshops are best delivered in person, but can be carried out on Zoom
