The creative impulse — to make something that did not exist before — is one of the defining features of human consciousness, and every culture produces artists, craftspeople, and makers who express what cannot otherwise be said. Every person has some domain in which this impulse finds expression, though the conditions that allow it to flourish are fragile. This life area covers how to begin, sustain, and complete creative work; how to develop craft; and how to navigate the emotional terrain of making.
