Yup! On again this Saturday morning! We’ll be talking about all the lessons in creativity you may have learned this week either through doing the bookmark assignment OR some other activity in your week. Maybe you got resourceful when cooking dinner, maybe you invented a new game to entertain the kids, maybe you just worked out a more efficient way of doing something! Whatever it was, come share your insights with us all! 🌈🙌🏼❤️

Booking link in bio 🔗💗 See you there!

Oh hi! How goes it? Dropping in to let you know about a new project I’m running every Saturday morning!

Creative Chats is a facilitated conversation for artists, makers and creatives every Saturday morning at 11am AEST for 90 minutes.

The first few will be intro sessions to get to meet other creatives in Canberra and around Australia.

Each week will have a focus topic which can be as strictly or as loosely followed as the group desires.

Only 10 spots per session! Make sure you book via the link in the bio, each session is pay-what-you-can-afford.

I hope to see you there! Will post more about what to expect over the week ahead 💗🌈

Hey wonderful Canberra creative women! Hope this finds you really well! I'm running an online workshop on Thursday 11 March at 7pm and would love if you're able to join!

This 90-min session will be a mix of facilitated creative coworking (so you can get that thing done!) and activities that get us thinking more creatively, "outside-the-box" and generating new, inspiring ideas.

You'll leave the session with:
- At least two strategies for getting unstuck from a creative block
- At least 2 new connections in the arts and creative industries
- Know more about the benefits of coworking and see how it can help your creative practice.

To book, go to: https://events.humanitix.com/coworking-creative-women

Hope to see you there!

Hey you guys! 👋🏼 Ruth here (aka Mary Violet). Letting you wonderful people know about a new service I’m launching to support artists, makers and creatives.

Admin is not something that’s highly beloved by many creative ppl I know. But sometimes you need to quickly and accurately show your experience, your training, your professional development and have some good referees up your sleeve.

That’s why I’ve decided to launch this new arts admin package offer. A two-page CV and your choice of two short bios or one long one.

It’s not easy talking yourself up, so let me do it for you! Get in touch via email: [email protected]

Can also tailor something to suit your needs! Here to help you succeed in you rcreative career ✌🏻
