What you'll practise
- Studio Door — A door into an imagined studio where whatever arrives is allowed in without judging it.
- Blank Page Sit — Stay with the empty page, canvas or track, hands ready, until one mark arrives.
- One Small Rule — A single constraint, such as a word, a colour or a key, to play inside and then bend.
- Back Burner — Name the stuck problem once, set it aside to simmer, and let the mind wander elsewhere.
- Stranger's Eyes — Look at the work as if someone else made it, then change one thing at a time.

1. Open the Door
A warm-up for making things: open the Studio Door, look around, and keep whatever arrives without judging it.

2. Blank Page
Stay with the blank page, canvas or empty track until something moves; a few cues, then quiet.

A revision session: look at your work with a stranger's eyes and change one thing at a time.

6. Studio Hours
An open practice: your prompt sets the craft, the sound and how much talking, then the studio is yours.
About the sound
Each session layers soft tone pairs, one in each ear, over a gentle noise bed, with a voice guiding you. Research on binaural beats is mixed; we publish both sides.
