Create in the City

This is a blog to help people get creative and make things in London

Why?

Recently I had a spontaneous urge to do a life drawing class during a particularly boring day at work. When I tried to find one happening that evening in the area, I got nothing. This was even after I searched for quite some time (when I should have been getting on with more important things like project schedules).

Eventually, I found somewhere by happening to pass it one lunchtime and noticing a little leaflet in the window. I went and it was great. I felt inspired, invigorated and like I’d done something different with my time for once. I drew some slightly disfigured figures and now they're proudly displayed on my wall at home.

There is not one place online that brings together all the creative activities happening all over London. There’s a site for courses (hot courses) and there’s sites for things you can do in London (Time out) but there’s nothing that focuses solely on creative pursuits. That’s where Create in the City comes in.

This is all new to me. Like my life drawing class experience, it may come out slightly disfigured but I hope it leaves me (and you) feeling inspired and invigorated and most importantly gives you some tips on places to go in London for your creative pursuits.
