At Rachel Shilston - Inspiring Creativity, we know it's important to press pause and take time out, so my hands-on workshops and fun make-at-home kits are perfect activities to ensure you can engage in some vital creative downtime.
Hello I'm Rachel. The founder and business owner behind Rachel Shilston – Inspiring Creativity. I believe:
* Everyone can be creative.
* Creativity is just a muscle that needs to be exercised.
* Engaging in a creative activity has a positive impact on well-being.
* Creativity provides a wealth of transferable skills.
* Being creative is a totally enjoyable and fun social experience.
About me.
I started my 'creative journey' gaining a BA(Hons) in Fashion & Textile Design at Manchester Metropolitan University in 1994, then went on to gain a PGCE in Art & Design at Brighton University.
With over 20 years' experience delivering creative projects, I strive to help people improve their wellbeing and quality of life, by making it easy, accessible and fun to get creative anywhere in the world.
Now with a passion for mosaic, there's so much I can do to show you and your friends how absorbing and enjoyable this colourful and tactile craft can be. Investing in yourself is important and focussing on something creative is so good for the soul. I know that mosaic is the perfect way to unwind for a couple of hours and by nurturing the bit of you that perhaps doesn’t get much attention, I can guarantee you will feel empowered, fulfilled and happy.
Whether on a workshop or through one of my kits, I really hope to inspire your creativity soon.
Love Rachel x

Empowering Creativity – I help redefine people’s perceptions of what it means to be creative.
Making Memories – Making a mosaic yes, but I also help make memories within a warm, friendly and welcoming community.
