Your Creative Way
A 12-week creative reset for anyone ready to make more space for creativity.
Perhaps you've got ideas but never seem to have time for them.
Perhaps you used to write, paint, perform, make things or simply play — and somewhere along the way, life got in the way.
Perhaps you don't think of yourself as "creative" at all, but something in you wants to explore.
Your Creative Way is an invitation to start again.
Thursdays · 6.30–8pm 7 January – 25 March 2027 ALMA Artspace, Newquay

What is Your Creative Way?
The Creative Way is a 12-week journey inspired by the ideas and tools of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way alongside my own experience of working creatively with people for more than 20 years.
It's a chance to step away from the noise of everyday life and give yourself some dedicated creative time each week.
Across the 12 weeks, we'll explore different aspects of creativity, confidence and self-belief through practical exercises, writing, reflection, discussion and playful experimentation.
The aim isn't to produce a masterpiece.
It's to make space, get curious and discover what happens when you permit yourself to create.
I'm Louisa.
I've spent more than 20 years working as a producer, performer, facilitator and teacher, helping people find their confidence, creativity and voice.
I've completed The Artist's Way several times and have also attended Julia Cameron's live workshops. The ideas have stayed with me throughout my own creative life and have influenced the way I work with other people.
I've created The Creative Way because I know how easy it is for creativity to slip down the list when life gets busy.
This course is my invitation to make some space for it again.
I'll be there to guide, encourage and support you but there is no "right" way to do the course. Your creative journey is your own.
What happens each week?
Each session is different, but you'll usually find a mixture of:
Creative exercises: Simple activities designed to get you thinking and making.
Writing and reflection: Prompts to help you explore ideas, thoughts and possibilities.
Play and experimentation: Permission to try things without worrying about getting them "right".
Conversation: Time to share ideas, discoveries and challenges if you'd like to.
Small creative challenges: Gentle invitations to keep your creativity moving between sessions.
You don't have to share your work, and there is no pressure to perform.
Come as you are. Take part in the ways that feel right for you.
