Inspirational Interlude


On the back of our recent Local Food workshops in Brisbane we rounded off our energetic sessions with a spot of fun. We distributed stickers to participants and dispatched them across the gorgeously sprawling riverside area surrounding the State Library, to seek inspiration.



The stickers prompted folks to Stick It & Show Us. They were encouraged to photograph their sighting and email it in to a website we'd quickly cobbled together – with a prize offered for the cleverest cookie on the day. Some have continued with submissions from further afield.

Meena! This was such a great way to wrap up the workshops. For me it was a very real way of getting out and looking at the world again through new eyes. In the future I believe workshops could even START with a process like this, for gathering inspiration.
