Lab Outcomes
Importance of Continuous Professional Development: New Labs within Shetland?
 


Margaret Hamilton
..... This type of event is invaluable to designers in remote areas especially, as one tends to become disconnected from new thinking.

Mary Thomson
I think it would be wonderful if we could conduct a series of small labs in Shetland, and maintain the excitement that we have all experienced and share it with other workers. I think that could only be good to encourage creativity and communication because I really believe that if you are a creative person you need to be communicating with other creative people, to keep your mind alive and to keep your work alive. We can get very isolated and very introspective and I don’t think that is a good thing.

For me, the beauty of the Lab was the creation of a space in life and work for new growth. It was like slipping temporarily into another dimension. By physically removing myself from outside issues, work, general life and by being somewhere with the facilities to explore my project, I allowed or pushed myself further than I would have in different circumstances.
