Creatopia Club
Exploring creative processes, getting our hands messy, and approaching art making in a playful way can boost our wellbeing and is something we don’t have space to do nearly enough as adults...
Creatopia Club is like an art club for adults! We are passionate about offering the opportunity for people to come together with like minded souls, get creative and learn new skills. We want to show people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds that you don’t have to consider yourself an ‘artist’ to enjoy making art!
Creatopia is on a mission to share the joy of creative play far and wide :) We offer a range of creative workshops that embrace hands-on art making, as well as hosting our weekly Art Club for Adult sessions at different points throughout the year.
We are available for private bookings and are always keen to collaborate with charities and community based organisations.

Tasha is a community artist with a passion for using the powers of creativity to aid wellbeing and social connection. She loves to discover new creative processes and bring people together to share, create and play. With a background of working with vulnerable groups in the community, she believes strongly that art-making should be accessible to everyone, and wants to bring a healthy dose of creative play to people of all ages, abilites and backgrounds (in a world that can feel far too serious at times)
Tasha has been hosting creative workshops for the past decade and enjoys creating a warm, welcoming environment where creativity can thrive. She likes to encourage everyone to have a go at something new, and loves to see what you create!
