Hi Erik,
Sounds like a great project.
One of the people who worked very closely with Donald Schøn was / is Jeanne Bamberger. Maybe you know her.
I've just found her e.mail on the MIT website http://web.mit.edu/jbamb/www/ so I imagine she is still with us.

When I last spoke to her in 2004 or 2005 I think it was, she showed me some notes that Donald Schøn and she had used to plan the workshops / experiments that are mentioned in the paper they wrote together:
Bamberger, J., & Schön Donald, A. (1991). Learning as Reflective Conversation with Materials.
In F. Steier (Ed.), Research and Reflexivity. London: Sage.
If I remember correctly the notes were about the role of artifacts.
She is a wonderful person to talk to and has many a fine anecdote about Donal Schøn.
Maybe you should contact her.
Best,
Chris.
