15 Ways to Reignite Your Creative Practice and Thrive Part 2
In Part 2 of our series on flourishing with your creative practice we explore 15 ways to find your path back to creativity, letting you live the Good Life your way.
Reignite Your Creative Practice and Find Artistic Fulfilment Part 1
Finding your path back to creativity and reigniting your creative practice can bring a deep sense of artistic fulfilment is the focus of Part 1 in our series.
Art and Craft Groups are the Home of Creativity
Art and craft groups serve as nurturing grounds for creativity, fostering an environment where individuals can freely express themselves and explore their artistic inclinations.
Within these groups, there exists a unique synergy—a collective energy that ignites inspiration and innovation.
Here, participants share techniques, exchange ideas, and provide constructive feedback, propelling each other forward on their creative journeys.
Sharing a Creative Passion
One of the most enjoyable aspects of these groups is the sense of camaraderie they offer. Bonded by a shared passion for art and craft, members form meaningful connections, cultivating friendships that extend beyond the studio walls.
This sense of belonging creates a supportive community where individuals feel encouraged to take risks and push the boundaries of their creativity.
Continuous Learning
Moreover, art and craft groups provide opportunities for continuous learning and skill development. Whether through organised workshops, demonstrations, or informal discussions, members have access to a wealth of knowledge and expertise, enriching their artistic practice.
Therapeutic Creativity
Beyond the artistic benefits, these groups also offer a space for relaxation and stress relief. Engaging in creative activities can be therapeutic, allowing individuals to unwind and recharge amidst life’s demands.
Arts and Crafts Groups As the Home of Creativity
Ultimately, art and craft groups are the home of creativity because they celebrate the beauty of self-expression and the joy of creating together.
In these vibrant communities, imagination knows no bounds, and every individual is empowered to embrace their unique artistic voice.
Finding Art and Craft Groups and Societies Here
While our members get to be listed on our What’s On directory page, this call out is also available for all Tasmanian arts and crafts groups and societies on our socials.
You will often find on the individual Art and Craft Group listings links to their social media pages too, making it easy for you to learn more about their artist led events and works.
Sharing Your Art and Craft Group on Our Socials
You’re welcome to drop links into the comments on Facebook and Instagram to what you’re up to, and, of course, you’re welcomed to follow Art Trails Tasmania on Facebook and Instagram.
Links in Individual Comments
I’ve learnt from previous call outs that it is best to drop your links in Facebook in individual comments.
This makes it much easier for the links to be clicked on and followed.
It also lets Facebook show the images related to the pages, always a benefit.
Naturally enough, Instagram isn’t as helpful with links. I’d be really happy to fix this but sadly, I don’t have any influence in that area!
But you are welcomed to drop links in the post on both of the platforms.
You’re most welcomet share the posts with your comments too, so more folk see them.
How to Leave Details to Your Arts and Crafts Group
Giving context to your links makes the world of difference.
So be sure to actually write a helpful description about what you’re doing.
This is all about helping you to connect to our followers, who will, hopefully, become your followers.
I’ve noticed that the comments with links that include a description as well as the link work much better than those with just a page handle.
Remember, this is your opportunity to connect with our followers about what you are doing.
It is simply about thinking from your audience’s point of view and making it really easy for them (all of us) to understand what you’re doing and join in.
Flourishing with Creativity
Creativity is the lifeblood of an artist, essential for originality and expression.
It fuels innovation, allowing artists to break boundaries, challenge norms, and communicate complex ideas in unique ways.
Without creativity, art becomes stagnant, lacking the power to captivate and inspire. It drives experimentation, pushing artists to explore new techniques, mediums, and concepts. Creativity is the driving force behind artistic evolution, enabling artists to evolve personally and contribute meaningfully to cultural discourse.
Ultimately, it distinguishes artists, shaping their identities and leaving an indelible mark on the world through their creations.
Make Your Own Creativity Calendar
The challenge can be daily life getting noisy and full of everything else.
The solution can be as simple as prioritising creativity, by creating time and space for it in your calendar.
To help you do this simply use our What’s On directory and the listings on our Facebook and Instagram call out posts to craft your own Creativity Calendar.
