Designing the Impossible: The Magic and Creative Solutions Workshop

Through her years of researching magic history, celebrated magician, artist and researcher Jeanette Andrews has developed specific magical methods for utilizing existing tools and strategies in unusual ways.

This workshop employs the design thinking seen in magic to rethink the world around us.
