Create:Connect – Online drop in sessions
Autumn/Winter Term (15 weeks)
Starts 4th September 2025
What to Expect

Join us on Zoom with your art materials from the comfort of your own home.
Each week we will share a creative technique or a creative prompt to inspire you, get your imagination flowing, and to help you get started with making art; you are welcome to write, paint, draw, dance… what ever inspires you!
Beginners and more experienced artists are welcome.
This rolling programme is especially suited for people who may find a regular commitment more challenging.
What you’ll achieve

These regular weekly online sessions to help you connect with your creative self, and with other people.

Support

CoCreate sessions are designed to be safe and supportive spaces, that allow you the freedom to do your best work.
Our courses are suitable for all levels of experience, and we welcome complete beginners.
When you sign up you’ll be asked if there’s anything you might need access support with, this could include physical access (lifts, wheel chair access, etc) or other things like help with writing, large print, or more time to process information. We’ll send a reminder email, with a link to join the session, to everyone.
You don’t have to tell us anything you don’t want to share, and we’re always happy to talk about how we can support you at any point in the course.
