Creative Mornings Derby – April

Description

Everyone is creative. Everyone is welcome. We’re a free monthly breakfast lecture series for Derby’s creative community.

The Coffee House is the new home for Creative Mornings Derby. On the third Friday of each month, Creative Mornings will be in The Coffee House from 9.30am.

Our theme for April is SPICY. It was chosen by our Tucson chapter and illustrated by Sophie McTear.

When you’re cooking, spices add flavour, depth, and complexity to an otherwise plain culinary dish. Spicy foods interact with receptors in our mouth and can trigger sensations of heat and even pain. Can you handle it? Being open to trying new and bold tastes is a good lesson for bringing daring and originality into all of our creative endeavours. As they say, “variety is the spice of life.”

So, how can you make your work and approach to life spicier?  Let’s bring the heat!
