Workshops
Drawing Ideas™ workshops are immersive, hands-on sessions that combine lecture and team-based activities designed to unlock your potential for brainstorming creativity through better drawing skills.
Drawing Ideas workshops are aimed at both novice and expert audiences in Design communities and beyond. Each workshop demonstrates methods for creative idea brainstorming, shows techniques for recording them on paper, and provides tips on refinement and exploration through iterative and evolutionary means. A workshop can be tailored towards a specific industry or design focus.
A typical Drawing Ideas workshop is 4-8 hours in length. Based on participant feedback, longer workshops are more successful, especially when held over a two-day period. We do not offer workshops shorter than 4 hours. More than 20 Drawing Ideas workshops have been given in numerous corporate, academic, and conference venues in the U.S. and abroad.
Currently we are not accepting requests for speaking/ workshop engagements until February 2011.
Contact us for a workshop fee schedule. Fee includes travel-related expenses to/from the Northeastern United States to your location.
