Planning a Collection: From Vision to Creation
~ A free workshop with Marie-Louise Cee from Fiercely Human ~

I’m so excited to share this! I’m collaborating with the wonderful Marie-Louise on a free workshop, and I’d love for you to join us:
DATE & TIME: Monday 29th June, 2-3pm BST / 3-4pm CEST/ 9-10am EST
WHO ITS FOR: Free to subscribers of Fiercely Human and the Creative Flock
Marie-Louise brings real, hands-on experience of building and planning collections, and I’ll be there too as someone who’s just starting out on that journey myself. We thought that combo, her expertise plus my fresh (slightly wide-eyed!) perspective, would make for a genuinely rich and honest conversation.
What to expect
Marie-Louise will walk us through a practical framework for planning a collection, from setting your intentions and finding your starting point, all the way to building a plan that’s flexible enough to actually stick to. Whether you’ve never made a collection before or you have but want to approach it with a bit more intention this time, there’ll be something in it for you.
Monday 29th June, 2-3pm BST / 3-4pm CEST/ 9-10am EST
It won’t be a painting session , so no need to get your supplies out! Do bring a pen and paper though, as there’ll be space to reflect and jot things down as we go. Expect a mix of practical guidance, some time to think, and room for questions.
The live replay will be available to all attendees for a week, after which it will only be available for paid members of Fiercely Human and the Creative Flock.
And if Marie-Louise’s way of thinking about creativity speaks to you, I’d really encourage you to check out her Substack membership. She goes so much deeper into the creative process through workshops, essays, meditations and more, including a follow-up workshop on vignettes, colour and texture that’s a perfect next step after this one.

I joined Marie on a recent live stream on Substack and we chatted about the workshop, before she settled down to sketch buildings from a charming cafe in Aix-en-Provence.
(Look out for the the comedy moment around 25mins in, when I had to relocate to my kitchen fridge as my phone overheated! 😆)
Look forward to seeing you at the workshop!







This looks amazing. Unfortunately I have a previous commitment. Will you be sharing a replay?
