hello from the kitchen table
Feel like you’re forever stuck behind a hot stove/steering-wheel/computer (you get the gist)? Peed off by how little you get to feed your creative soul? Wondering where to even begin, it’s been so long?
I get it. You’ve lost your art mojo and everything is a bit “meh”. (Actually, mine went AWOL for over 20 years, so don’t despair! It’s never too late to stir your creative pot.)
Kitchen Table Creatives (KTC) is here to satisfy your hunger for creativity. So let’s kick your frustration out the door.
Art is nourishment, that will be our mantra.
tell me more…
Well hello there - I’m Helen Arthur and I’m a firm believer in regular doses of art-making, even if that’s just a scribble or splat of colour.
Art-play is for EVERYONE…
Because art heals – I think we all know this at some fundamental level.
What’s my reasoning? Well, I’ve got a great story to share. Are you sitting comfortably? Follow this link: “Once upon a kitchen table….”
return to joyful art-making at a pace and level to suit you…
I’ve rolled up my sleeves, tied my apron strings and am dishing up fortnightly art “recipes” along with tidbits of motivation and a garnish of support to really get your juices flowing.
This art class in your inbox includes:
“recipes” – achievable, timed project ideas covering the full range of experience levels - demos, visuals and written instructions
“ingredients” – materials lists and hacks ahead of each session
“spice” – motivational quotes and suggestions to boost your inspiration and spike energy
“seasoning” – optional links to free content to give you tasters of further adventures in art-making
“chef’s special” – my dedicated responses to queries as Q&A emails and chat
Yep, ALL straight to your inbox… No fuss.
stay juiced up
Fortnightly KTC activities will go directly to your email for you to access when you’re ready. The content is then yours FOREVER.
Once you’re subscribed, you won’t have to worry about missing out or falling behind.
Let’s say no to FOMO and keeping up on *all the platforms* - Instagram, Zoom, FaceBook. Gah! It’s all so overwhelming, isn’t it?
I’ll answer your questions and concerns using personal email and “chat” (on SubStack). You’ll be part of a gang of creatives, all hankering after the same thing - raising creative curiosity and gaining momentum and “flow” through regular art-play. And within a supportive framework that takes the pressure off.
simple ingredients
Everything we do will be accessible. We’ll use art materials that are affordable and easy to get hold of. I’ll suggest ways you can improvise whenever you need to.
in a nutshell…
KTC will be thoughtful and generous. It’s open to everyone.
You’ll feel supported and encouraged – maybe even excited (remember that?!) by what you make along the way. Certainly never disheartened! There’s no judgement here.
This is all about upping your motivation, boosting your confidence and building a regular art practice from the comfort of your own home. (And with the minimum of tech. Phew.)
So pull up a chair… I can’t wait for you to join the club. The first month is free in case it’s not for you.
