Create, Chat & a Cuppa - a weekly Creative Space for MothersA weekly class of feel-good creative sessions for mothers and pregnant folk. This is time and space for YOU. A little 'creative escape' in your week for some simple, fun, mindful creative stuff. Along with lots of relaxed chat, a cuppa and even some chocolate too!
You do not have to think of yourself as 'creative' or 'artistic' to enjoy this class! Anyone can enjoy it ?
Open to all mothers (bring babies of any age, children along or come solo) and pregnant folk too.
Each week through simple, fun, mindful & creative exercises that I've created for you we'll explore how being simply absorbed in something creative can have that feel-good effect, boost wellbeing and just give you some time and space for YOU. This is all about being absorbed in something that's for you (not your baby or child for once!) and finding a little pocket of calm within the stress and busyness of motherhood or pregnancy - all in a really relaxed, fun and welcoming space.
Absolutely no experience is needed - if you can hold a pencil then you are welcome and will have a fab time and benefit from this creative space - honestly! We focus on the process (not the outcome), and on being together with other mothers in relaxed, friendly and supportive space.
Think of it as a little 'creative escape' for mothers each week. A space to be inspired, do something different from the day-to-day, and have an afternoon a week that will help you feel good & uplifted. Where you’ll get to be creative for the fun of it.
We'll be doing feel-good, simple mindful and creative stuff (we'll do something different each week - collaging, doodling, colouring, list poems and lots more) that will get you out of the busyness of your mind. All of it can be done with a baby feeding, or in a sling, or sleeping in a pram/pushchair or wriggling on the floor.
Plus there will be plenty of tea and coffee, biscuits and chocolate provided for you throughout the class to keep you going too!
These sessions are all about letting go of labels and expectations, and just being absorbed in something for you, in creating something - with no expectations.
Just bring yourself, exactly as you are
Some recent feedback on these lovely classes:
“Such a lovely quiet time to spend focus on something that wasn’t kid related or chore related. It was so nice just to chat and do something mindful. Plus the coffee and biscuits were a bonus. Cant wait for next week!”
“ I didn’t realise how much I needed it until I was there... I’ve come home inspired to try to use my journal to get some stuff out of my head and onto paper in whatever form it comes... Sometimes it’s easier to draw than write even if, like me, you would not consider yourself an artist.”
“The opportunity to sit round and talk to other mothers about babies and all things creative felt like such a healthy space to create in the week”
“I’ve come home feeling relaxed with a reinstated passion to get out my colouring books and have some me time when the kids are asleep. ”
“A really lovely and relaxed way to meet other local mums and mum-to-be. Such a friendly group - thank you Susan
“So nice to be in a group with such lovely women. My confidence got quite knocked by the birth, and I don’t have friends and family locally. So it’s lovely to be able to sit and relax and draw and chat.”
