We’ve always known this 🩷

Sometimes just sitting down, making something and switching your brain off for a little while can make such a difference.

It was never really about being “good” at art. It’s about what creating does for you 🎨

And just like that… another successful Clay Highland Cow session at Gin on the Lane, ran by our amazing Georgina 🩷

They always turn out absolutely adorable, and I honestly love seeing how proud everyone is of their creations !!

As some of you may know, this was Georgina’s last session with us for a little while 😪 She’s off to have our newest little LSoC team member 🩷💙💛

She’s going to be massively missed while she’s away, but we’re so excited for her and can’t wait to meet the newest addition to the LSoC family 🥰

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it another lovely one 🩷

Another incredible session last week at the absolutely stunning Copper Vines, Standish 🩷.

We love how you all start with the same inspiration and let your creativity and imagination let you lead the way.

Thank you Copper Vines for having us again and Becca for hosting another fab session 😘🩷.

Me and Andy Mack have started a little podcast 🎙️

Our first episode is all about Let's SHAPE Our Creativity CIC - how it started, why it matters to me, and how creativity can bring people together and support wellbeing.

A nice chance to actually stop and talk about the journey so far 💛

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Andy Talks to Emma from Let's SHAPE Our Creativity CIC | Creativity...

Creativity isn’t always about what we make.

Sometimes people just need a reason to walk through the door. Sitting in a room just to talk can feel like too much.

Sometimes you need to feel the room first. See who’s there. Work out if you feel comfortable. Having something to do with your hands gives you that space without the pressure to talk, make eye contact or share anything before you’re ready.

I’ve seen people come in quiet and unsure, then slowly start chatting, laughing and opening up in their own time.

And sometimes they don’t want to share at all. They just want to be around other people and feel connected.

Creativity might be what gets people there, but it’s everything that happens around it that really matters.

Sometimes it’s just a group of us sat colouring.

But it’s never just colouring. ❤️
