Now that you have consistent creativity built into your life, it’s time to get out of your rut & reconnect with your maker self.
Welcome to
make.
Hello! I'm Kathryn Snell-Ryan and like you, my hat collection is sizable - maker, parent, full-time job juggler, seeker of levity, Art Therapist, & so on for infinity... Alas, I’m not quite sure about your dreamy visions, but most of mine include some version of the maker part of me. It's here I notice small and strange beauties, where I really see. Messy studio clothes, mind wandering, sketches laid out, marks clear & confident. I am lost in the very best way.
This dreamy version of me does exist, but for way longer than I'd care to admit - hardly ever. Despite falling in love with making in my teens, undergrad degree in Fine Arts, and a Master’s in Art Therapy from one of the most prestigious art schools in the nation - adulting went on to squeeze the creative life blood out of me.
I yearned to make, could smell the clay, kept my sketchbook barely-active, had brief bouts of art production that didn't last, dreamed of 1,000 versions of a perfect little studio. And yet my daily bandwidth just couldn't stretch far enough. I am only one person, my childs' only mother, responsible for half my family's income…. You know the drill - 21st century living leaving the well of creativity bone-dry.
And so alas, the spirit of 'create what you need' led to the formation of MAKE. If you find yourself needing a committed creative practice but struggle to nail it down, I'd love to welcome you in. xx
MAKE Is Right For You If...
- Having weekly creative time is desired but it's difficult to show-up consistently.
- You can free up your Tuesday or Wednesday evening for 1.5-2 hours (even if it takes negotiating, finagling, or sneaking the time).
- You want a place to be quiet & just make alongside the collective energy of others.
- You want to creatively explore who you are through the lens of Art Therapy.
- And finally, if you can already picture, down in your guts & bones, the version of you working creatively, headphones in, mind & hands alight with creative energy.
Let's face it, none of us really need more fancy art stuff to 'prep' for our next project... WE SIMPLY NEED TIME TO MAKE & THE COMMITMENT TO STICK WITH IT.
join MAKE!
