Divergent Creative Thinking


Investigate a different concept. Look into contrasting notions. Consider conflicting objectives. And generate creative ideas by examining many possible solutions. Be spontaneous. Draw unexpected connections. Be a non-conformist. Curious. Persistent. And willing to take risks. Create lists of questions. Set time aside for thinking. And brainstorm. Embark on a spot of bubble mapping. Meditate. Keep a journal and fill it with sketches and stream of consciousness writing.

When porcelain artist Aleksandra Pollner and woodworker Emmett Smith combined their disparate skills to create something totally new they came up with a rugged but sophisticated Porcelain and Wood Axe. A beautiful design object; whether you've got wood to chop or not.
