The Creation Station Christchurch

What happens when you get a room full of Creation Station leaders together with lots of paint, creativity and a licence to PLAY? 🎨✨

We had such an amazing training day on Saturday, developing ideas, experimenting, getting messy and, of course, having lots of creative fun!

I’ve come home full of inspiration and some exciting ideas for the months ahead…

✏️ Sketchbooking is back in October!
I’ve got some lovely new ideas to bring to our next sessions, so if you enjoyed the last course, keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming.

🥂 And then there’s something NEW for November…
🐾🎨 Paint Your Pet!

This one is VERY exciting! ❤️

You send me a clear photo of your beloved pet and I’ll turn it into an outline drawing on canvas for you. Then, during a relaxed Create & Sip session, you get to paint your own pet in your own style!

It doesn’t have to be perfect, realistic or “arty” — it’s all about having fun, getting creative and going home with a unique painting of your favourite furry, feathered (or otherwise!) friend. 🐶🐱🐰🐴

I’ll be sharing more details — and some sneak peeks — very soon, so watch this space!

Who would you choose for Paint Your Pet? 🐾🎨❤️

Now the kids are going back to school, it’s time to think of you again! I’m planning some amazing adult classes for the Autumn, so watch this space! X

September often feels like a fresh start with new seasons around the corner.
New routines. Fresh energy. A chance to make a bit more time for the things you enjoy. Over the next few months, thousands of people will spend an evening switching off their phones, chatting to people they've never met, trying something new and going home feeling ridiculously proud of themselves at our Create & Sip events.

Just good company, plenty of laughter and the chance to enjoy creating something that's completely your own.

You might be surprised by what happens when you give yourself permission to create.

🏴‍☠️🎨 What a lovely way to finish our Summer Holiday Workshops! 🎨🏴‍☠️
We had the BEST time at Friday's Treasure Chest Workshop at Arcado Lounge! 💚
Eight little creatives (and some very enthusiastic grown-ups!) got stuck into a morning of messy painting, sticky gems galore and plenty of creativity. 😂🎨✨
The finished treasure chests were all completely unique, and it was so lovely seeing parents, grandparents and children creating and having fun together. 🥰
A huge thank you to everyone who joined me at one of my Summer Holiday Workshops this year — whether you came along for Slime, Build A Buddy, Canvas Painting or Treasure Chest Decorating. It has been wonderful seeing so many children getting creative and enjoying themselves over the holidays. 💕
🎨 More workshops are coming!
I'll be back with new creative sessions during the October half term, so make sure you're following The Creation Station Christchurch on Facebook and Instagram to be the first to hear what's coming up.
🎂 And while we're waiting for October…
How about booking me for your child's birthday party? 🥳
I have some brilliant Arty Party themes available, including Build A Buddy and lots more creative ideas to make their birthday extra special.
💌 Message me and I'll send you our party brochure!
Thank you again to everyone who has supported my workshops this summer. It really has been lovely. 💚🎨✨

🎨 Could your residents enjoy a little creative time together? 🎨

I’m offering FREE creative wellbeing workshops for care and retirement homes in the Christchurch and surrounding areas. 💕

It’s a chance to bring residents together for a relaxed, enjoyable activity that encourages conversation, creativity and connection — with no cost and no obligation.

For the complimentary session, you can choose from:

🌸 Pressed Flower Bookmarks – create a beautiful floral keepsake using real pressed flowers.

🪨 Pebble Painting – a fun and accessible activity where residents can decorate their own colourful pebble.

And if you have a particular theme or idea that you think your residents would enjoy, I’m very happy to chat about how we might tailor a session to suit them.

The session is for up to 10 residents and is led by an experienced, DBS-checked creative facilitator. All materials are provided — residents just need to come along and enjoy being creative! ✨

If you work in a care or retirement home, or know someone who does, please get in touch to find out more and arrange a complimentary session.

📩 Message me or email me to book a date.

I’d love the opportunity to meet your residents and bring a little creativity and joy to their day. 💕
