Today Eight of us became the founder members of the Creatives Club. I had chosen a bank holiday to meet up so because of prior plans a lot of people couldn’t make it. I have had over 40 expressions of interest in joining. As it turns out 8 was a great number for our initial meeting, everybody introduced themselves, with a strict brief to be brief. We had a quick overview of our varying interests and what we can achieve in future weeks. As we discovered, each one of us needs to carve out time and space to create, and in a supportive group it’s a lot easier. A bit of business networking went on too!

Some members brought in work, all of which was fab, and immediately we realised that everyone had some new skill, or technique to share. These skills easily lend themselves to future making meetings.

Last but not least everyone screen printed a mini membership card on pre prepared watercolour washed paper. A card to flash if they are ever stopped by anyone doubting their creativity.
