Creative Arts Studio

The Creative Arts Studio is for adults who want to discover their creativity, relieve stress, step away from everyday life for a while, and simply make something with their hands. You don’t need to know how to draw or paint. We don’t focus on how “beautiful” the end result is. What matters is the creative process, curiosity, and the experience you can take with you.

Every Wednesday, we explore a new and exciting theme and try different art techniques. These are creative-therapeutic evenings where, alongside the calming effect of hands-on activities, you can also explore yourself and different aspects of personal growth. It’s a chance to slow down, play, experiment, discover something new, and be yourself.

Participants have said that the creative arts evenings have helped them feel calmer and more emotionally balanced. They have learned a lot about themselves, tried exciting new techniques, and found their creativity beginning to flow. These evenings offer a chance to step out of the daily routine, switch off your thoughts, and immerse yourself in the creative process.

What can the Creative Arts Studio offer you?
• An opportunity to discover and develop your creativity
• Support for your mental wellbeing
• The confidence to experiment without fear of making mistakes
• Time for yourself and a chance to switch off from everyday life
• A variety of creative activities that help you relax and be present
• An opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and inner world through art
• An enjoyable, supportive experience of creating together in a small group

When: Wednesdays, 18:00–20:00
Where: Loovusstuudio, Masina 22, Tallinn

The group is led by creative therapist (MSc) and adult educator (MA) Jaana Ojakäär-Kitsing.

Autumn programme:
Each session has its own focus. We experiment, experience and play with the possibilities of art materials, discover different creative therapy methods for empowerment and support, and create art inspired by our inner selves. Join the creative arts group for the whole season to enjoy the full experience.

Upcoming themes:

21 October — Intuitive Painting
We make room for intuition, colours, shapes, and the movement of the hand. We’ll see what story the picture begins to tell when the mind briefly steps aside.

28 October — Creative Adventures in a Mini Book
We’ll make our own mini book. It’s a playful journey through a miniature world in a palm-sized book, where every page fills with colours, pictures, messages, or meaningful thoughts.

4 November — My Spirit Animal
For the time of souls, we’ll pause to explore the world of natural and symbolic beings. What animal might embody my strength, wisdom, or an important message? We’ll find our spirit animal and create a meaningful image of it.

11 November — My Layers: What Is Visible and What Is Hidden?
We all have layers—roles, experiences, feelings, memories, and different sides of ourselves. We’ll explore these layers through art and create an image in which some parts of ourselves can be visible while others remain hidden.

18 November — Stories in Art
Art tells stories, and stories in turn inspire us to create art. We’ll experience how a story we hear expresses itself through art.

25 November — Kadripäev Good Fortune
Inspired by Kadripäev, we’ll create a personal good-luck talisman that carries our own good wishes and strength.

2 December — A Zen Moment and the Art of Being Present
Before the end of the year, it’s time to pause for a moment. We’ll draw inspiration from Eastern wisdom and focus on one moment—the present. This is an evening where less is more.

9 December — Traces of My Transformation
Change can be slow and almost imperceptible, or great and decisive. We’ll look at change as a process and glance back at the autumn season: what has shifted, changed, or become clearer in me during this time? We’ll create an image of the traces of our transformation.

16 December — The Good Wishes Post Office
We’ll end the autumn season by giving and sharing. We’ll make individual Christmas cards and write good wishes in them. We’ll open our little “Good Wishes Post Office,” from which each card can travel straight to the heart of someone dear.
