As writer Gianni Rodari put it, playing with fantasy is serious business. Each one of us has a never-ending well of creativity within them—La Fantastica—that, like a muscle, needs constant training. There's no one better to help you train it than designer and teacher Sara Ricciardi, an expert in designing spaces, performance sets, installations, and objects by combining her imagination with tangible materials. Throughout her career, she has worked with brands like LuisaViaRoma, Visionnaire, and Max Mara Fashion Group.
In this course, she guides you through a series of exercises to unleash your creative potential. Learn techniques to develop lateral thinking and create a Fantastica notebook to visually capture your ideas. Follow the whims of your imagination and explore a different approach to creative design.
