About this Event



Creative Sundays are for anyone who wants to make time for creativity - from professionals craving a change of scenery while working on their creative projects to the creative-curious wanting to play with the array of creativity boosting materials I provide and see where it leads.



This event is for you if any of these are true:

You want to give yourself the time to draw, read, journal, play with creative prompts, or daydream.

You have a steady creative project/practice and are craving community and/or a change of scenery.

You're in a creative rut and a want a reset.

You don't consider yourself creative, but deep down wish you did.

You like meeting new creative people.

You like getting inspired.
