Jane Yarnall research text in IJCMR

‘Manipulative Verbs as a Research Tool’
Dr Jane Yarnall, currently in her second year of the MA Ceramics course, has had a text published in the inaugural edition of Bath Spa’s new International Journal of Creative Media Research. Congratulations Jane…
Abstract
This Issues in Creative Practice Research blog reflects on the author’s own experience of using the manipulative verb technique to stimulate divergent thinking in ceramic practice. It explores the benefits and challenges of applying this technique, and reflects on the creative blocks which prevented it from being fully exploited.
