21st Century Adulthood 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.
Which is why MAKE was founded - an online art group designed to spark artful thinking and creative practice. With weekly collective studio-time, MAKE invites you to bring yourself & your making supplies; that's it. Come frazzled or fine, inspired or empty, chatty or shy.
Because sometimes all we need is a bit of accountability & a ready-made creative space.
IMAGINE...
- An artistic space infused with making, curiosity & play.
- A weekly creative practice with like-minded others.
- Reliable & consistent artistic time in your life.
- Rediscovery & commitment to the creative self.
- Losing a sense of time while you get lost in your craft.
- Sharing your work with supportive, like-minded Creatives.
- Art therapy experiences to deepen personal growth & insights.
Simply put, you'll regain a commitment to your creative practice and in doing so, live more authentically and fully.

This group is the closest I've felt to my long-ago college art studio days. The creative group energy translates well online!

FINALLY I'm making regularly again. Have struggled for years to commit to my practice & this group has absolutely been the motivation I needed.
LYLE R.
Making every week and listening to interesting creative books has checked two boxes I've tried committing to for years. :)
It’s Time To Say Yesā€Ø 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
make.
Hello! I'm Kathryn, and 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, ritual maker, 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
MAKE Is Right For You If...
- Having a structured creative time each week appeals to you but it's difficult to show-up consistently.
- You can free up your Wednesday evenings for a couple of hours (even if it takes negotiating, finagling, bribing, or sneaking the time).
- You want a place to be quiet & just make alongside the collective energy of others doing the same.
- You want to creatively explore who you are through the lens of Art Therapy or seek feedback from others in an artful way.
- 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.
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.
