Creativity is a skill. It’s not something you’re born with; it’s something you learn. And you frankly don’t need a well-developed sense of creativity to be a very solid weaver. What will make you a solid weaver (and incidentally, what will start slowly but surely building those creativity muscles) is curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuriosity is a mindset that stays open to questions and experimentation. Being curious means getting out of the production space (e.x. I am making a scarf) into the learning space (e.x. Would this weave structure and\/or fibre and\/or sett make a good scarf?). Let yourself wonder “What would happen if…” and then run as many of those experiments as possible. When you try something new, stay curious about the results: how it feels, how it looks (up close and far away), how it shrinks, how it drapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jamie Hurlburt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53335938957604,"sku":"E-HURLB-JAM-00010","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5508\/4068\/files\/JAMIEKIM_Book5.webp?v=1776538366"},{"product_id":"e-angie-an-00008","title":"Tonquin Valley DIY Embroidery Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis embroidery kit takes you into the heart of Jasper National Park, capturing the untamed beauty of the Tonquin Valley.
