CREATE
_SPACE
Create, Inspire, Belong:
A Space for You to Breathe.
At the heart of Create _Space is a desire to offer something many of us are missing in our busy lives: space to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect - with ourselves, with others, and with our own creativity.
We started Create _Space in 2023 out of a deep desire to see people find rest, connection, and freedom through creativity. It’s not about how “creative” you think you are—it’s about making room to explore, to play, and to find joy in creating—whatever that looks like for you.
Come as you are. Bring a friend. Or just bring yourself. We’d love to welcome you in.

The Reason for Create _Space
We know that for many, creativity was shut down early – perhaps you were told you weren’t “good at art” or that you didn’t do things the “right” way. We’re here to challenge that. We believe creativity isn’t about perfection or performance – it’s about freedom, expression, and celebrating the unique way each of us sees the world.
Engaging in creativity isn’t just enjoyable—it’s also good for us. Taking time to create can help calm the nervous system, ease stress, and give us space to process the things we’re carrying. Whether you’re facing challenges, needing a breather, or simply craving something meaningful and gentle, creativity can be a powerful tool for restoration.

About the Mornings
We usually offer a craft or “making” activity where you can try out different skills in a relaxed setting. There’s also a painting table where you’re free to experiment with mark-making and enjoy the process of painting using a variety of objects – it’s all about creativity, not perfection. If you have a personal project on the go, feel free to bring it along – many participants often do.
Create _Space is run by members of our church, and while our faith inspires the warmth and heart behind these mornings, the space is open to all – whatever your beliefs or background. It’s about creating a culture of kindness, encouragement, and respect. We value good, life-giving conversation, and we ask that everyone joins us in making it a space free from gossip or unkindness.
These monthly mornings are completely free, open to everyone, and designed to be a welcoming, relaxed environment. Whether you come to get stuck into a creative project, try something new, or simply enjoy a coffee and uplifting conversation, you are so welcome.
