After our family sessions we have a reflection meeting about the session. Often this is talking about & documenting special moments to inform & develop our practice.
Recently we’ve been experimenting with drawing as reflection.
Has anyone else been trying out different ways of reflecting together?
Welcome to our next Magic Online event with artist Matt Shaw sharing their practice as a collaborative space maker with very young children.
