Learn tips and get inspired to carve out and protect your own creative space! A dedicated space helps overcome creative blocks and ruts, and gets your mind into a habit of creativity.

So many of us wish we could be more creative, or more easily tap into our creative flow. Maybe you feel creatively blocked, easily distracted, or unmotivated. If you relate, I have good news: You can improve your creativity right now by making your own designated creative space!

In this class, I’ll explain why having a creative space helps your creativity, and provide clear and inspiring guidance for how to set up your own creative space. I’ll share actionable steps toward building your unique creative space, interesting science supporting these tips, plus personal insights gleaned from my own experience as a professional creative!

This Skillshare features a free downloadable Class Workbook that will guide you through the steps we’ll be taking together in class. Find the free workbook under the Class Project tab on the right, under Resources.

We'll address big-picture considerations as well as specific practical advice on common hurdles, including:

Why it’s important to have a creative space
Setting intentions for your creative space
Finding your own creative space, regardless of how much room you have
Physical space, lighting, and seating considerations
Minimizing distractions
Ideas for organizing your supplies (or not!)
Gathering inspiration and decorating your space
Engaging the senses and creative self-care
Breathing space, i.e. how to use your creative space mindfully :)

And as promised, below are links to some of my favorite resources to support you with this project!
