Wow! TGIF and Earth day!
Come get messy with us at 10 am for Messy Toddler Art and “Squezzy Painting”
(It’s just like it sounds)
then, from 11am-6pm we’re making reuse a top priority all day with our recycled materials to explore and create with. Earthday is every day at CReATE!
We can’t wait to see you!

Last week we watched a doilie become a dream catcher, had earthday fun with our reuse twist-COYC, collected frames for mom, got a kind mention, saw row signs and had a crafternoon @createstudio on instagram.
Two is better than one when it comes to fun. Tuesdays are a great way to celebrate friendship or siblinghood by sharing creative time togther.
Take advantage of our TWO for ONE Tuesday deal today, bringing two creators to the studio and paying for only one.
Material of the Week-4/18-4/24
Dried Corn Husks!
Just in time for spring school projects or fairy forts or… whatever you can imagine…
Mother’s Day is coming soon; Sunday, May 8th.
Today is great day to come in and make the mom in your life something special. We’ve got frames for just this occasion.
Come in and create something special with us today. We’re open 12-5.
It was so nice to get a mention from our friends at Visit Conejo Valley and equally nice to be apart of the Conejo Valley itself with nature, kindness, community and fun all around. We are so happy to be apart of it all!
Last week we had a blast with pretend music, tennis racket signage, catching creativity at Anthropologie, friendly school lunches, a crazy cat toy and tiny frozen castles @createstudio on instagram.
Clear sleeves are great for displaying a work of art or a work in progress. Cut a sleeve into parts and it can be a window for a small car or mosaic pieces with the help of a little color. We can’t wait to see what may come
Kacie (7) made this listening set from our weekly material, headphones along with a piece of leather twine and a casette tape. While wearing her creation and making other creations she said she was listening to pretend music.
Pretending, remember that? The times in childhood where possibilities were really probabilities because we could be anyone and do anything in the land of make believe. Creativity is a conduit for imagination and play and thought. Mixing a little mud and water made pies, and then you were a baker or the chef of a king. It was all possible with thought, but action (creating) made it so.
As we get older we don’t want to make believe but we do want to get away. That is why creativity, and in our case, artful creativity is so valuable. As Twyla Tharp once said, “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home”. Yes, it’s healthy to get away a little bit, from our to-do’s and to-don’ts. Being in creative make believe can sooth the soul and at the very least let you hear music you really like.

We enjoyed a recommendation from the Easter Bunny, a sweet little cork dolly, the Pinkest rose, wise words with crayons, a fantastic foam donation, a beverage material pendant and a smart bird house last week @createstudio on instagram.
