In my first session; although I was nervous about attending, the facilitator provided a positive, friendly, non-judgmental attitude, which helped me relax. This session has encouraged me to take the time to unwrap the writer within.
Thank you for creating a safe environment and encouraging the group to move the session at their own pace.

Beth Cregan • May 2024

It’s a creative inviting space full of writing books and resources. Sez is warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. There was just the right amount of time for talking and connecting with other writers as well as working on my own writing project. I especially liked the afternoon text prior to the event to give me the heads up on how the evening would run and what I would need. Thank you Sez

Teacher's response

Sez is an absolute gem. Her space is an artists paradise with so many fun projects to get your creativity flowing From Cricut classes to Artist huddles (BYO Project) my personal favourite! There will be something for you at an affordable price. So grateful to have such an amazing space this side of town.

I had the best time at the Writers Without A Cause event. Sez has cultivate an incredibly inspiring space filled with intention props and snacks. She took good care of us, providing us with prompts for writing and quiet time to get our words on the page with the perfect playlist in the background. I wasn't sure if I had the energy to go after a long workday but being in that space re-energized me. The perfect accountability for whatever project you're working on! Highly recommend - it'll have a regular spot on my calendar!

Teacher's response

Yay! thanks so much for joining us I can't wait to hear about the progress of your novel! Sez x

Jen Lord • Mar 2024

Had the best time at creative huddle. I didn't come with a project but never fear, there were plenty of projects that you could pick up and have a go at there. A very chill creative community vibe with like minded people. I'll be back! Thanks Sez

Host's response

Thankyou lovely What a great night with beautiful company it was! Sez x

Raphaelle Joly (Rapha) • Feb 2024

It’s a moment for yourself to tap into your creativity and oh la la it feels so good! It felt great to connect with other creative minds and spend some time getting in the flow!
Sez has designed a comfortable and inspiring place. Come as you are, bring your project or just get inspired by all the ones available on the spot.
I came after an intense day at work and left so energised and light, full of ideas and smiley + proud of my 20 first rows of my next knitting project.

Gift your self this moment of self-care, Rapha

Such a wonderful creative space and welcoming environment for all, no matter if you're an experienced artist or just looking for an activity to get stuck into. It was such a fun, relaxing and creative night.

Host's response

Thankyou Lissa So great seeing you & your mum create side by side both very differently! So glad you got some relax time fitted into the hectic schedule! Look forward to seeing you both again! Sez x

Brooke Clarke • Nov 2023

What a night!
Being a freelance creative can be isolating, but the Creative Huddle made me immediately feel connected to a likeminded group of people. It was lovely to chat about creative techniques and swap stories in a way that didn’t feel like I was trying to network. 10/10 will be booking myself into another one soon.

Host's response

Thanks so much Brooke! oh yaya I'm thrilled it was a relaxing way to chat creativity without feeling all businessy networky! Thanks for teaching me how to make those ribbon stars! Look forward to seeing you soon! Sez x

Tiff Wigg • Nov 2023

Sez made it such a lovely, calm, welcoming space for us all to just potter at our own little projects, and meet new people! Thankyou so much, I love this idea of community connection, and will definitely be making returns visits in the future!

Host's response

Thanks so much Tiff I'm so glad you braved coming alone but as you can see most people do wander in alone and everyone attracted to this kinda thang is on the same page as you! Thanks so much for being part of the start of building connections in this creative community! Sez x

Dee Zabel • Nov 2023

So much fun! Great to hang out with other arty people, have a chat, be inspired and get creative!

Host's response

Yay! Thanks for coming Dee! Your sustainable gel printing was something I did not expect to see and was so interesting watching you create those upcycled prints! Hope to see you back again soon! Sez x

Marina McInnes • Nov 2023

Such a beautiful space to connect with other crafters in the area. Sarah is fantastic at making everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

Host's response

Thank you Marina Your water colour baubles were gorg! Send me a pic of the finished framed cards! Loved having you as always and can't wait for the next crafty playdate! Sez x

Rebecca Taylor • Nov 2023

Sez has created a creatively inspiring space for like minded people to come together, chat, draw and/or make whatever you want. Bring your own project or choose from the resources there. Byo drinks and nibbles or not - you choose! Thanks Sez for a very easy, relaxed night away from the kids.

Host's response

Easy is my aim! Just a couple of hours of creative zen with no pressure to complete a project (and get out of bedtime routine is a bonus lol) is all we need to fill that creative Mumma cup back up! Look forward to seeing you at Creative Huddle again soon! Sez x

Merrie McCulloch • Nov 2023

Loved attending the creative huddle, it was a warm and inviting atmosphere to create. I love that Sez had a few community projects on the go so that if you wanted to come along but didn’t have anything specifically to work on, you could just grab something cute and start making. Lots and lots of materials and mediums to access. The Maker Space everything you could need for a fun night of creativity. Will definitely be back next month!

Host's response

Thank you Merrie! Lots of things to experiment and create with at the Makerspace! Your cat portrait was CUTE I can wait to see it finished and you back again for another creative cuddle at the huddle! Sez x
