About This Event

A relaxed, friendly Art Club for grown-ups, with Issie (The Everyday Creative) at Claire's House in Bury St Edmunds When: Tuesday 6th October 2026 / 6pm - 8pm Where: Claire’s House Pottery, Barton Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP32 7BE Cost: £18 (plus a small Eventbrite fee applied at check-out) - ticket includes a cuppa and biscuits! Spaces: Limited — booking essential Join us for a calm, informal evening of creative play designed to soothe the busy mind, challenge perfectionism, and gently build your creative confidence. Each session starts with short, guided warm-up exercises from Issie to help you loosen up, quieten inner chatter, and embrace playful experimentation with both conventional and unexpected art materials. After the warm-up, you’ll have time for relaxed exploration as you respond to a still life; plus time to chat, drink tea & eat biscuits! This is not about producing a polished finished piece or following a strict lesson plan. It’s about embracing the creative experience: stepping away from screens and daily demands to refill your creative cup and reconnect with curiosity. No experience required, all abilities welcome —my motto: you don’t have to be good at art for art to be good for you. Bring: Just yourself — materials are provided. Wear something you don’t mind potentially getting a little messy! All welcome. Spaces: Limited — booking essential Please Note; -Claire's House Cafe will not be open but Issie will be making cups of tea and providing biscuits!

Issie loves supporting people to (re)engage with their creativity in a supportive and welcoming environment; through 1-1 coaching and creative workshops. In 2019 The Everyday Creative was born, to facilitate a friendly, inspiring and relaxed environment, through creative workshops, exploring the benefits that creativity has on our well-being.
