Do you have the CityMoms app?
These two little ladies and their mama’s found out about our studio through the app when looking for local things to do.
We’re so glad they spent some time with us and let their creativity flow through painting, gluing and general mess making fun. Thanks CityMoms

Woo Hoo what a great day!
Los Encinos first graders imagined and made insects that could withstand any weather in any place! They brought blueprints of their design ideas to work from and went to town creating.
Their bugs could do it all because they imagined it. Just another fun day at CReATE!
Who needs a 3D printer when you have hot glue and a kid with a clever idea to construct 4 sides of the Eiffel Tower from that hot glue!
Why have a machine do what your brain can do more creatively š Nothing can compare to the hands-on experience of creating something when the human body works in its true collaborative way of thinking with the brain and making with the body. No machine needed.
Well done Zoe!
Shh, if we are quite we can watch these red foxes in their natural habitat.
It’s school project season and there are wild animals everywhere at CReATE!
Amazing things happen when resourcefulness is encouraged by using what’s available. I love the little clay foxes but I love the magnolia flowerbud trees even more. That’s resourceful!
Creativity is it’s own reward.
-Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way
I commonly hear from adults who come to the studio confess that they are not creative. IĀ don’tĀ agree. In fact, IĀ would go so far as to dispute their notion. We are all creative!Ā I hope thatĀ as we talk they startĀ to see within themselves that creativity is alive and well and wants to play.
By definition, creativity is bringing a new idea into physical form. This is not a gauge against other people but within yourself, your new ideas, new ways to to the things you need to do and want to do. It is a playful element of our human make-up and we all have it. When we express it, we come alive a little more in our skin. I have become aware that kids are plugged into their creativity all the time, their wheels are always turning, always coming up with new ways to play, to try out their worlds. We’ve allĀ heard it said that children are our teachers but, I think they are our reminders of how to be, how to explore, how to dabble in our creativity and feel more alive in our days. It is an action we take, a form of self expression. A way we can share ourselves with others and with the world.
Watching creativity spark with creators at the studio we think of it as creativity flow. When creativity flows, we are in the moment. We are present. We are.
Creativity isĀ it’s own reward.
We had a messy blast during Kalista’s 10th birthday party yesterday making slime. The hands on fun of the process was a perfect match for our exploratory nature.
If you have a theme idea for your next birthday party at CReATE, let’s talk! We love to explore.
