Be Brave - Creativity takes courage! Free monthly workshops

This is a free, monthly creative session designed for anyone who wants to connect, or reconnect, with their creativity in a relaxed, supportive space. You don’t need any experience, just a little curiosity and the willingness to try. These sessions are about exploration, not perfection. Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or simply feel creatively blocked, 'Be Brave' offers you the chance to play, experiment, and see what emerges when you give yourself permission to create. All materials are provided - just bring yourself and wear something comfortable.

The only thing I ask in return is that you share a little of your story with me, and allow me to photograph and share what you’ve made on social media. It’s a way of celebrating your creative courage and inspiring others to take that first step too.

Come as you are. Leave with something you made, and a reminder that creativity lives in all of us.

Here are some snippets of what other brave and beautiful souls have made: Iza, Leysan.
