The Creatrix Collective
A nurturing in-person art membership rooted in self-discovery, creative freedom, and seasonal rhythm
This is not an art class…
It’s a space to come back to yourself.
To breathe.
To play.
To listen to the quiet magic inside you.
To create without comparison.
To make art that feels like you.
The Creatrix Collective is an ongoing in-person membership designed to help you build your own creative practice — intuitive, joyful, and true to your rhythm.
You’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace, or the option to work closely with me in small group mentorship. All in a calm, welcoming studio space in rural Essex.
This space is for you if...
You’ve always been creative (even if you forgot for a while)
You’re craving time that’s just for you
You want to feel more confident in your artistic style
You long for a calm, welcoming space where you can relax and express yourself
You’ve been through a big life change — a loss, a shift, a letting go — and need somewhere to land gently
You want to build a practice that feels nourishing, not overwhelming
You’re tired of feeling stuck, blocked, or unsure — and ready to find joy again
Whether you’re stepping into a new season of life, healing from something hard, or simply carving out space to rediscover yourself — this is a place to land gently and create something just for you.

“Amy! She’s incredibly supportive. And I’ve loved the support from the group. They’re such amazing women.”
“I’m learning, slowly, to appreciate what I can create rather than dismiss it as not good enough.”
“My biggest [aha moment] is finding the right path and trusting my instinct.”
"Leave your mind at the door and just trust your gut, because you will find something and creativity flows."

“I used to worry about making it look good… but now I just focus on what works for me.”
“The biggest takeaway was learning to give myself time to play, and to just be free with any tool.”
“It takes my mind away from other life worries and gives me time to do something I enjoy… without rushing or stress.”
“I love going to this studio — the light, the people, the music, the tea. Creative Collective gives you time to play with mediums and tools…to work towards a series of art pieces in a serene, non-judgemental, and friendly environment.”

"I highly recommend both the individual workshops and courses offered by this great little art studio. I found Art with Amy Louise when I decided to try art for the first time at the grand age of 45. I have attended several workshops and courses and have now joined the mentorship. Amy is a truly inspiring artist, who encourages individual exploration through art whilst guiding attendees through the processes of learning new skills and techniques. The other people I have met are all at different stages of their artistic journeys and together nurture a supportive and encouraging environment to create within. I did not know what intuitive art was this time last year, now I am thoroughly enjoying finding out about what it has to offer and feeling the benefits of allowing this avenue of creativity in my life."

It’s an incredibly safe space to explore any subject, feeling, material or medium, with Amy's support there to help guide your through the process & offer you help wherever you need it.
Amy's knowledge & resources are endless, making these sessions flow flawlessly.”

“I’ve always loved to create, but have always struggled with perfectionism, so I would often end up frustrated with myself and my work.
Before attending The Intro to Intuitive Art Course and The Creative Collective, I had never created Intuitively before - What a game changer!
I love the process of the first pour and how slowly building up layers of acrylic, it built a depth of colour. I’ve learnt so much about composition, colour mixing and best of all, how to start trusting my Intuition to create.”

“I hadn’t painted since school 45 years ago." Am I that old?!’ But always missed it. Amy and her lovely studio have helped me to gain confidence and also made me realise that there is no right or wrong way to enjoy expanding my knowledge. Amy will give support and suggestions on how different materials and methods work. Recently I completed a course and was so pleased with my workI have put it up on my wall.”
“The friendly atmosphere made me feel relaxed as I regained my confidence… and realised there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy the process.”

Creatrix Mentorship – Small Group Guidance & Continued Learning
For those who value sisterhood, personalised guidance, and continued creative growth.
Two hours a month, we gather in a small, supportive group — a space where art, self-discovery, and seasonal rhythm meet.
Some sessions will focus on continued learning — teaching techniques, skills, and processes to expand your creative toolbox. Others will be dedicated to personal guidance and mentorship — helping you move through whatever’s challenging you, whether that’s mindset blocks, technical skills, or finding your creative voice.
Alongside the practical learning, we weave in seasonal inspiration and reflective practices — from simple creative rituals to moon cycles and nature-led themes — grounding our work in connection to the world around us.
Each month is shaped by the group’s needs, so you’ll always receive the right balance of skill-building, soulful reflection, and intuitive guidance to help you grow — both artistically and personally.
You’ll get:
2 hours of guided & mentored group time per month with me (set times tbc)
A blend of continued learning, skill-building, and intuitive guidance
Personalised support on your creative challenges — from mindset to technical skills
Seasonal gatherings throughout the year (around 8 per year) with creative + spiritual connection
Moon musings, seasonal themes, and gentle creative rituals woven through our time together
Weekly feedback and guidance on your work via the mentorship community chat
Online community space — resource library (coming soon) + community chat
Option to exhibit original work in our annual Essex exhibition

Hello Fellow Artist,
(yes, you are one, even if you’re just beginning),
I’m Amy — an intuitive artist, creative guide, and studio owner based in Essex.
Art has always been a part of my life, but for years I was caught in perfectionism, comparison, and the fear of not being “good enough.” I’ve been a pastry chef, an art teacher, and a people-pleaser… until I finally chose to trust my creative voice and carve a path that felt like mine.
Now, I run a cosy studio in rural Sible Hedingham where I hold space for others to reconnect with their creativity, build confidence in their style, and let go of the pressure to get it right.
My work is rooted in intuition, play, and seasonal rhythm — and my greatest joy is watching others come home to themselves through art.
This isn’t just about becoming “better” at art.
It’s about remembering that you’re already whole, and that your creativity is a part of that.
Come and create with me. Let’s find your voice together.

FAQs
-
The short answer is yes.
I would recommend creating a member’s login on the scheduling app so that you are able to see what you have booked and what you have left to book for the month.
Bookings should be made with at least 24-hours notice. You will not be entitled to join a session if you do not make a booking.
-
If you need to cancel a session, please let me know directly by emailing hello@artwithamylouise.co.uk. All cancellations must go through me.
Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice, and you can do this yourself via the booking system.
If you cancel or don’t attend with less than 24 hours’ notice, the session will be lost and can’t be rebooked.
-
All members have access to studio equipment that doesn’t run out, such as paintbrushes, palettes, palette knives, and water pots.
If you’d like to use art materials (paints, papers, collage supplies, etc.) during your own studio time, you can add a materials package to your membership for an additional monthly cost. This includes:
Cartridge paper
Watercolour paper
Yupo paper
Coloured paper
Display cartridge paper
Acrylic paint supplies
Alcohol ink supplies
Watercolour supplies
Collage supplies
Mediums
Gold, silver, and rose gold foil
Glue and tapes
For Creatrix Mentorship members:
Materials are provided within mentored sessions when we’re exploring new techniques.
You’re welcome to purchase additional items like sketchbooks or canvases directly from me during session time.
-
Creativity is an ongoing journey, and both the Creatrix Community and Creatrix Mentorship are designed to support you for as long as you want to be part of them.
Creatrix Mentorship — Minimum 3-month commitment from when you join, then 4 weeks’ notice to cancel.
Creatrix Community — Flexible month-to-month membership, with 4 weeks’ notice to cancel.
There’s no set “end” — you can stay for months or years, building your practice, confidence, and connection over time.
-
Creatrix Community members can book their studio time during the following hours:
Monday — 14:30–20:30
Tuesday — 18:30–20:30
Wednesday — 09:30–20:30
Thursday — 14:30–20:30
Friday — 18:30–20:30
Saturday — 14:30–20:30
Sunday — 09:30–17:30
These hours are subject to change if the studio is being used for classes, exhibitions, or special events — any changes will always be communicated in advance.
Creatrix Mentorship members have a set mentored session time each month (dates and times TBC) in addition to any Community hours they may have as part of their membership.
-
You can move into Creatrix Mentorship at any time, as long as there’s space, with a minimum commitment of 3 months.
If you decide to leave Mentorship, you can move to the Creatrix Community tier (subject to availability) with 4 weeks’ notice — but please note that rejoining Mentorship in the future will depend on space being available and may require joining a waitlist.
This helps keep the group consistent and ensures everyone gets the depth of support and connection they’ve committed to.
-
You don’t need any experience to join. Whether you’re completely new or returning to creativity after a long break, this is a welcoming space to explore at your own pace. In the Mentorship tier, I’ll guide you step-by-step through techniques and projects that suit where you are now.
-
Membership is ongoing, and your hours refresh each month. To keep studio capacity fair for everyone, unused hours can’t be carried over.
Previously, we worked on a rollover system — I’ll honour any outstanding rollover hours you already have so you can still use them. After that, the new “use it within the month” system will apply.
