How to make space in your life for creative making beyond the course sessions?
This question always pops up and it seems to be a common theme that people struggle to make time and space to practice and enjoy making at home outside of a structured course.
I know this for myself too - it’s all too easy for other things to take priority.
The answer is simple - join my new online creative studio space for meeting and making over the winter months.
Online Creative Studio Space - book one months access for £25
Thursday Mornings 9.30 - 12.30
October - January 2027
By committing to a regular weekly time to sit down at your kitchen table/ work desk/ sofa, with a whole group of others sitting in their own homes, you join a productive and supportive space which reserves a piece of time in the week for you and your creativity
As the nights draw in, make a cup of tea, get out your art materials and join a cosy group of fellow makers
The format is flexible so you can shape the space to fit your needs - Each session starts with everyone logging in at the start and saying hello, and then switching off their mics, and getting making. Pushing the laptop away so that you are visible on screen but at a distance works really well. That way it truly feels like we are all sharing a spacious studio place together. You can come and go from your desk, get yourself a snack when you want, and also come and go through out the morning if needed
There’s an invitation at the start to share our intentions for the session, and at the end an opportunity to share what you’ve been making, or struggling with, or whatever you want to contribute - including any areas of inspiration such as exhibitions you recommend etc. However, if you don’t feel like sharing that’s completely fine too
This is not a taught course so I won’t be offering any technical guidance or setting up themes. I will be holding a supportive and friendly space which brings an encouraging environment and fosters a sense of community,
When all my classes went online during the covid lockdown, like many people, I was surprised to discover many advantages to being in a group online. Creating from the comfort and convenience of you own home makes it very accessible. Finding inspiration in the things around you and developing a home-based practice encourages sustainability beyond attending art courses. And participating in group discussions can be inspiring and reenergising.
