I enjoyed learning about the science behind the process, the role of each ingredient, creatively introducing new dyes/textures and perfecting the recipes through time. The tactility of the process was one of the most fun parts for me, given that I do lots of work on the computer.
- Working WELL in a group, where everybody is working together, equally hard, and has their own role and voice.
I have been in many situations where working in a group has been overly complicated, people haven’t done their part or conflicts arose. This was not the case at all with Marina and Pippa, and I believe it shows in our results.
Hosting a workshop (in general) AND despite not being an expert on the topic pushed me out of my comfort zone. I was happy that the workshop ended up being more of an open conversation, rather than a lecture hosted by us. Like this, it felt much more communal, as opposed to a top-down dictation.
- Weekly reflections: being forced to submit something each week forced me to be consistent and learn how to use html.
The hard part was not the writing, because I enjoy it and think I do a good job of it. The difficult part was going through our classes each week whilst simultaneously learning how to grasp html. Over the course of the term, I slowly got quicker, better and more confident. Now I can proudly say that I’ve reached an intermediate level of html + css, and I hope to progress throughout the following terms too.
