A set of 10 carefully curated books, nestled together, is crafted to inspire and ignite possibilities, inviting rich conversations and reflections that we believe will lead to reimagining teaching and learning through the arts in your context.
​
The introductory volume lays the foundational values and offers a framework called the threads of creativity. The subsequent books delve into nine distinct mediums—drawing, painting, wire, clay, light, paper, textiles, digital technologies, and open-ended materials—each exploring the values, threads of creativity and opportunities for reflective practice.
The Creative Collection busts open habitual ways of seeing materials and their uses, challenging us to step away from the familiar and routine to embrace spacious possibilities. These books are visually stunning; their evocative beauty invites us to pause, to feel the stirrings in our hearts, to hear the whispers of our longings, to imagine and to dream.
The Creative Collection carries us into expanded understandings of creativity and the arts, locating them front and centre in the lives of children—and teachers.
