Want 3 days of free creative classes? Then do THIS


This one decision changed my life, Reader.

The decision encouraged me to return to creating art even though I still felt somewhat creatively stuck.

And it motivated me to return to my creative business even though I didn’t feel 100% ready.

Making creativity a priority is the decision that changed my life for the better because I feel much more inspired, expressive, and connected to my art nowadays.

I would love for you to experience a similar transformation as me, which is why I'd like to share something exciting that I believe will inspire your creativity.

My friends at HobbyScool are hosting the Back-to-Creativity Summit which is a FREE 3-day virtual event running from August 18th to the 20th, 2026.

The summit is designed for artists, creatives, and makers who want to put down the to-do list and pick up their craft.

You don’t need any expensive supplies to participate. Even better, you don’t need any experience to enjoy the workshops because they're all designed for beginners.

Here's a sneak peak of what you’ll see inside the Back-to-Creativity Summit:

  • You'll enjoy 3 days of beginner-friendly workshops taught by 31 creative experts
  • Quilting and fiber-art foundations, from Rachel Rossi's beginner-friendly quilt blocks to Theresa Benson's Log Cabin quilting
  • Sewing, embroidery, and textile techniques, including Jane Harbison's 5 Colour Method
  • Polymer clay, painting, and mixed-media projects, including Karla Fox's terrazzo-technique clay earrings
  • The step-by-step projects are designed to be completed in one sitting, and you can pause and rewind the sessions as often as you need to

Sounds like fun? Then reserve your spot today. After all, it's free!

Back in 2024, I had the honour of attending HobbyScool's Art of Expression Summit as an expert speaker, and I taught a class on watercolour painting for beginners.

Therefore, I know from personal experience how fun and rewarding these creative summits are because attendees like you have access to learning that is accessible and supportive.

So isn’t it time to give yourself permission to make your creativity a priority in your life?

If you’ve been wondering if now is the right time to make the guilt-free decision of prioritizing your art, let this email be your sign, Reader.

Has this ever happened to you, Reader? You bought a new sketchbook, and that dopamine hit gave you a big rush of excitement that inspired you to create art. But then, the moment you opened your new sketchbook, an unexpected dread cast over you like a stormy cloud because you were confronted by the blank page. The discomfort you feel is the fear of the blank page, and it’s a common phenomenon among artists. A few months ago, I bought a mini sketchbook. After taking a long break from creating...

I almost quit making art, Reader. Making art for work and business rather than for personal enjoyment created a lot of unexpected stress in my life. It led to creative burnout, which is why I walked away from online business for nearly a year because I needed to rest and recharge. During that time, I honestly considered giving up on art and content creation because they no longer felt sustainable in our fast-paced digital world. Fortunately, working through The Artist's Way program helped me...
