Learning ‘To Studio’: The Role of Creative Pedagogy in Delivering Future Skills And How To Make It Happen

<p dir="ltr">This chapter redefines the Fine Art studio as a transferable pedagogic model for cultivating creativity and future skills across disciplines. It introduces the concept of <b>‘studio-ing’</b>—a verb describing active, collaborative, and process-led learning—arguing that studio-based education fosters critical attributes such as curiosity, resilience, and co-agency, which align with global educational priorities. Drawing on research with academics and students, the authors identify five key conditions for meaningful creative learning: <b>Time and Space</b>, <b>Valuing Process</b>, <b>Co-Learning</b>, <b>Quality</b>, and <b>Inclusion</b>. These themes challenge neoliberal pressures that reduce education to measurable outputs, advocating instead for environments that support risk, reflection, and uncertainty. The chapter positions studio practice not as a luxury but as a vital infrastructure for interdisciplinary problem-solving and equitable access to creative futures. Ultimately, it calls for recognition of the studio as both a physical and conceptual space essential for sustaining creativity in higher education.
