🎨 Let Them Be Artists

Growing up I was told so many times that art was a waste of time.
That I’d never get a “real” job doing it.
That it wouldn’t pay the bills.

And for a long time, I believed it.

I went on to study photography at uni... but the kind of photography that lit me up. The kind that made me feel something. It was creative, messy, emotional… it was art.
But I graduated thinking what’s the point? So I stepped away from it.

I ended up doing commercial photography and somewhere along the way, I lost that spark completely. I didn’t pick up my camera for years.

Until this year.
And ive found my passion again

I think we need to stop telling children that art isn’t a “proper” path.
That it’s not enough.
Because it definitely is

Art gives us purpose, expression, connection, healing, identity - all the things money can’t buy.

So if a child says they want to be an artist… let them 💗
Let them create.
Let them dream.
Let them be.

🌿 Excited to annouce... 💕

I’ve been working on something that’s felt really personal - my Mum Journal. It’s taken a lot of thought (and a fair bit of late night overthinking 😅) because I wanted it to be something that truly means something.

It’s not just a journal… it’s a space for mums to pause, breathe and find themselves again. Somewhere to write, reflect, doodle, or just stop for five minutes and remember you still matter too. 🌸

I’ll be sharing it for the first time at the Wigan Winter Wellbeing Festival next month, a little nervous but proud at the same time.

If you’re coming along, please pop over and say hi! 💛

💛 £2 for 2 Years of Let's SHAPE Our Creativity CIC 💛

On 10th November, we celebrate two amazing years of creativity, connection and community and we’re calling on our community to help us keep it going 💫

If Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity has ever made a difference to you, maybe through a workshop, a chat over a brew, a creative spark, or simply seeing what we do, we’d love your support.

Your £2 donation might seem small, but it truly helps us keep offering affordable and inclusive creative wellbeing sessions across Wigan.

It’s never just £2.
It’s a paintbrush in someone’s hand, a conversation over a brew, a little spark of confidence, or a moment of calm that someone really needed! 🎨 🖌

👉 Donate here: https://letsshapeourcreativity.co.uk/products/donate-to-let-s-shape-our-creativity

If you can’t donate right now, you can still help by sharing this post - it really does make a difference and helps us reach more people who might need what we do 💛

Thank you for helping us shape something special 💛

Tomorrow I’ll be at Community Corner from 11–3 💛
Everyone’s welcome!! come for a brew, a chat, or a bit of creativity if you fancy it.

I’ve got some little embroidery templates ready to try, or you can bring something you’re already working on. (I'm currently doing a cute little toadstool 🙂 )

You don’t need to make anything if you just want to pop in and have a chat - it’s really about being together, taking a breather, and supporting one another. ☕💬
