CREATIVE
CONNECTION
IS WITHIN REACH
21st century adulting suffocates artful, unscripted living.
It just does. And the hustle that creeps into the everyday leaves little room for making. Making art, craft, poetry, community. Despite the gnawing emptiness left in the wake of a too-busy life, cultivating artful living is an undeniable challenge.
Enter Make - a creative group designed to spark artful thinking & practice with weekly online studio time. Bring yourself & your making supplies; that's it. Come frazzled or fine, inspired or empty, chatty or shy.
Because sometimes we need a bit of accountability & a ready-made space. 🤍
It’s Time To Say Yes to Your Creative Practice
With a come-as-you-are group mentality & a common understanding that making needs to happen, even if squeezed into the cracks - this group is a safe place to settle in, breathe deep & nurture that part of you seeking beauty & craft.
Welcome to map inside out's...

I'M KATHRYN.
Hello! Like most of you, my hat collection is sizable. I'm a parent, spouse, business owner, pet mom, Art Therapist, friend, creative maker of things, household organizer, adventure planner, cook, maid, tongue biter, household accountant, family calendar keeper, & due to said list, wine club member.
I'm the first to admit that I've found my creative energy flattened over the years as I drift in & out of carving time to make. And in Every. Last. dry spell, there has been a palpable emptiness in my life and a recognition that I wasn't operating in a whole, full way.
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
IS MAKE RIGHT FOR YOU?
If having a structured creative time each week appeals to you but it's difficult to consistently show-up for yourself - make is right for you.
If you can free up your Wednesday evenings for a couple of hours (even if it takes negotiating, finagling, bribing, or sneaking the time) - make is right for you.
If you want a place to be quiet & just make alongside the collective energy of others doing the same - this group is right for you.
If you want to creatively explore who you are through the lens of Art Therapy or seek feedback from others in an artful way - make is right for you.
And finally, if you can already picture, down in your guts & bones, the version of you working away creatively, headphones in, mind & hands alight with creative energy - make is right for you.
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.
