Workshop at FACILITARIUM Vaskna, Estonia 2014

Workshop on "Visual facilitation via creative drawing", or "How to have fun while drawing" I gave for international trainers and visual facilitators who joined FACILITARIUM at beautiful place next to Vaskna Lake on 10th of May 2014.

FACILITARIUM is one of the serie of trainings organized by NGO Loesje Eesti (www.loesje.ee) based in Estonia. This one was a traning on facilitation with the help of visual tools.

During my workshop they played several drawing games to improve their creativity, to maintain observation, build structure on paper and cooperation between each other.

The essential part of my work is a practical and theorethical research of the relationship between drawing and space and a role of drawing in the creative process of thinking and making. In my work I deconstract drawing as well as jewellery into a fundamental symbols.

Drawing is like thinking, it takes you from one idea to another. I try to input this freedom of drawing into the jewellery process of making. Jewellery is a medium known for its utilittnes, aesthetics priorities and wearable demands.

What will happen, if I work with the silver as with a paper sheet, or with wire as with pencil? In my work, I research a primary signs of visual language as are a line, point, area in drawing and wire, sheet of metal or a hole in in the ﬁeld of jewellery. This most essential alphabet visualized in objectes

are combined into installations mostly in the way of naturalist do in the museums, on the long white shelters with pieces laying down with their own exact order next to each other, as a part of the neverending process. I combine signs and vocabulary of visual language with texts, words, and researching a different limitations or deﬁnitions in both languages. During research and production arise new ideas and process is still ON.
