I had this idea but don't know if there'd be any interest. Considered posting in Arts and Crafts but there seems to be so little traffic over there, but if there's interest, I'll start up a thread there!

So many people seem to feel creatively blocked, and often it's a case of not having a medium. People feel they are creative and have things they want to express, but don't know how to translate that into something physical.

My idea is that we could choose a different medium each month to experiment with. It can be any kind of medium, from origami to film-making, metal-working to pottery, origami to sewing, writing to painting.

People could approach each month's medium however they like: take a course or workshop, or learn by yourself. We could post our creations, thoughts, findings in a dedicated monthly thread.

It could be really interesting and therapeutic, and could be a great way to get started and stay motivated, and who knows, even discover hidden talents. In many ways, it would be like the weightloss support threads you often see.

Any interest?
