Eclectic Workshops
Led by peers, the workshops at Eye Opener are simple, experimental, and rooted in curiosity rather than outcomes. Each session blends hands-on making with reflective conversation to support creative flow and cross-generational exchange. No prior experience or laptop is required. Workshop content and formats may vary.
The Practice of Noticing
A guided, silent walk through the verdant Cranbrook gardens and grounds, paying close attention to the sensory details.
Creative Lineage — Part 1
Trace the mentors, creative influences, life ruptures, and pivotal places that have shaped you. Create a layered personal lineage through open-ended visual mapping.
Beyond the Algorithm
Using generative AI as a creative collaborator—then returning typography to the body, gesture, and human trace.
DIY Screen Printing
Working hands-on with ink, paper, and simple tools, experiment with color, texture, and layering while pulling your own prints.
Creative Lineage — Part 2
Bring the work to the wall in a pop-up installation — gathering around what we’ve made and noticing resonances, crossings, and shared threads across generations and practices. Our closing workshop.
