Flow magazineCrammed with practical ideas, inspirational images & creative exercises, Conscious Creativity leads the reader through the process of establishing what kind of creative you are...MslexiaThe purpose of this book is to enable you to look at things in an alternative and more substantial way, so that you arrive at composition through genuine interest.Juno magazinePhilippa Stanton is passionate about people connecting to their innate creativity and has distilled these incredible techniques and ideas on how we can tap into that. Philippa is a massively successful Instagramer at@5ftinfand yet she is only too aware how these little two dimensional squares can limit our experiences and restrict our creativity, so its not without a little irony that shes written a book to encourage people to step away from their screens and connect more with the 3D world. Its a fascinating subject and I wholeheartedly recommend the book for anyone whos working in the creative industry or is curious about the world around them.Sophie Robinson (DIY SOS, The Great British Interior Design Challenge, This Morning)Unlock your creative potential with Conscious Creativity: a practical, playful guide bursting with inspiration to help bring more colour into to your life.
