Curiosity begins early in life but must be fostered by an environment rich in freedom to create for oneself. “To be curious, adventurous, willing, and even eager to experiment are all qualities we
recognize as being essential to the creative process.” (Joan M. Erikson, Wisdom and the Senses, The Way of Creativity. Norton, 1988)
Stonework Play is an internationally acclaimed program developed and led by Diana Suskind. It is an activity inspiring children and adults to create meaningful stories through contact with nature; something she passionately believes today’s world needs. Stonework Play encourages self-directed learning, teaches critical thinking skills, provides sustained involvement and purposeful effort, and allows meaningful engagement with nature.
Diana Suskind, Ed.D, is an international Early Childhood consultant and artist. She is a former Professor of Education at Fitchburg State University.
Young and old are encouraged to attend this fun and educational audience participation program. Anticipating this event, you may want to view videos on YouTube of previous Stonework Play sessions in many different settings demonstrating and encouraging self-directed learning, seeing critical thinking skills shared, providing sustained involvement and purposeful effort, as well as engaging in meaningful engagement with nature and each other. Although stones are all stones, each one has its own unique qualities just like children and adults.
