Spotlight!

We’re spotlighting PAPER this month at the studio. It happens to be one of most requested materials when diving into creativity.

Here, a young creator put paper to good use cutting one kind of paper into little squares then picking her favorite pieces of shredded paper to glue to them. They look like little artist trading cards.

We Love October!

We are so excited that it’s October!

We’ve got great things planned so be sure to spend some creative time with us.

In addition to drop-in D.I.Y. creating we have a new feature at CReATE where we’ll be spotlighting one of our core material themes with ideas, inspirations and a top or two. This month we’re spotlighting paper and it’s many uses in creative expression. Take a look at our Ociber banner here and you’ll see it’s versatility in this one project alone!

We’ll be on the road a bit this month, spending a weekend at The City of Agoura Hills Reyes Adobe Days to spark creativity as well as Westlake Village’s City Celebration with our @WestlakeVillageRocks good vibes rock painting. We’ll be at E.A.R.T.H.S Magnet for spooky fun too.

Let’s get our creativity flowing starting today with Two for One Tuesday where two CReATE to the price of one, that’s extra fun!

Creativity is…

Creativity is inside everyone.
I got my hands on a copy of the August / September 2017 issue of Family Fun Magazine reading the article, “The Art of Being Creative” by Jennifer King Lindsey who wrote a great piece about Creativity. Hurray to our friend Meri Cherry who is mentioned in the article too!
As I read through the pages I felt a resounding yes rise in my throat. I have come to the conclusion myself that creativity is an aspect of our inner mechanics as humans. We all have it, BUT, we don’t all think we do. That’s why CReATE lays it’s focus on creativity for all, art fun for all. I know that each person is creative, I also know that creativity spans reaches of our thinking capabilities far beyond what we tap into. The family Fun article suggests and I know it for sure myself, that creativity grows when exercised.
I think of creativity as a brain muscle. When it’s used regularly, like any other muscle, it strengthens. Our thinking options expand and new possibilities grow. Creativity is often linked to problem solving and critical thinking, in fact I’d say it’s deeply woven into those processes.
We tend to get caught up on the word and the idea of creativity because it’s often branded as an artistic, even craft skill. If we don’t connect with those avenues of self expression we assume we don’t have a creative bone. Think again, in practical ways we bring creativity to our scheduled days, our balanced checkbooks and our planned meals. Creativity is always with us, in our day to day as well as the unique moments and it’s ready to jump into action any time we ask. Call on your creativity. It can’t wait to serve you.

Try something new.

Come hang out and create with us today. We’re open from 12-4pm. 

You can make something in a creative realm you haven’t thought of before. Take this denim clutch purse by Sydney. She had never explore sewing before. She learned about construction and machine Sewing in the process of making it. She was so proud when she was done.

That’s a great feeling!

Happy Friday!

We’ve go hands-on fun for you today.
Join us for Messy Toddler Art Fun at 10am making “Beaded Necklaces”, getting painty, gluing like crazy and more!
Then, we’re open for drop-in creating from 11am-6pm where it-s always a hands-on process to make your ideas come alive so come in and let your creativity flow.

Fun!

During cardmaking with the girls club girls we came across these positive and loving greeting card and turned them into inspiring signs to hang wherever a boost is needed.

Love

Love these easy to make​”Love Blocks” made at our Girls Club class today.

Love is a powerful force of positivity for all and with a little yarn painting and some 2×4 bits we’re  spreading the word.
