Is it true that Michelangelo saw the angel within the stone and liberated the sculpture? Did he instead begin the making of the sculpture and discover what he was creating as he moved forward on a path of uncertainty? Our featured webinar guest Dr. Lorne Buchman has researched the creative process and interviewed many creators. In his book Make to Know: From Spaces of Uncertainty to Creative Discovery, he shows us the creative journey that begins with not knowing but moving forward anyway. As he explains, the make-to-know path is very common. In this webinar we will discuss with Dr. Buchman this way of creating, a way that has value not only for writers, painters, sculptors, weavers, and others traditionally known as artists; but also for any of us creating a meal or garden, resolving a conflict, or developing a plan or solution for or with a client. We will consider the vital importance, when making to know, of self-knowledge, of self-awareness. And we will talk about what we can discover about ourselves when following this path.
