TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR PAST PARTICIPANTS
"Wildly Creative introduced tools and prompts that I will continue using when I get stuck. I joined the class to jumpstart my poetry practice again, and through the rigorous guided self-examination, I found myself gaining insights into what was blocking my creativity – many of them involving perfectionism and internalised criticism. I would recommend this to any artist, especially those who are juggling a full-time job, and trying to figure out how to feed their inner artist amidst life's many demands.”
“This programme has been a game-changer when it comes to my perception of self, others, and art in general.”
“Wildly Creative brought me closer to myself – helping me to discover an inner landscape and an artistic practice I might not have found otherwise.”
“Wildly Creative was a way for me to get in tune with myself again, and actually develop tools to listen to and begin trusting my own voice.”
“I don’t think I ever understood what it means to live day to day as an artist before Wildly Creative... This course is worth its weight in gold. Please keep running it, and if there's a 2.0 I'll be the first to register.”
