Creative Play Lab

Creative play is where so much begins.
It’s the space where curiosity grows, new ideas spark, confidence and trust start to build—not by pushing through or harder, but by letting go of outcomes and leaning into uncertainty.

This course offers you a space to:

• Let go of needing to know where something is going

• Tune into intuition and instinct

• Explore freely, without pressure to finish or perfect

• Discover new threads and unexpected directions in your work

Whether you’re returning to art after a break, deepening a regular practice, or simply wanting to refresh your relationship with making, Creative Play Lab helps you move forward by opening up possibilities, not narrowing down.

Here’s what to expect:

• Light-touch theory to deepen your understanding of creativity and give context to what we’re exploring
• Interesting and playful exercises that get you straight into making, with a focus on process rather than outcome
• Journaling prompts to help you notice what’s happening as you work—what shifts, what opens, what surprises you
• Suggestions for your ongoing practice, offering ways to carry the insights forward and keep the energy of play alive in your studio

Across six modules, you’ll explore themes that support deep creative play:

• Inner and outer space: how to create the conditions for playful risk-taking

• Letting go of control: exploring spontaneous mark-making and chance

• Flow and attention: noticing what draws you in, and why it matters

• Imaginative space: engaging with materials in new and surprising ways

• Generating ideas: expanding ideas instead of narrowing them

• Your Art Practice: reflecting on what’s opened up and what comes next

You’ll receive:

🎨 Guided creative prompts that invite spontaneity and reflection
🧭 6 modules with 3–5 lessons each, all rooted in abstract, mixed media practice
📄 Downloadable PDFs for every lesson
📘 A full printable course booklet to keep
🔁 Lifetime access so you can revisit anytime
🧠 Reflective prompts to help you integrate what you discover into your wider practice

✨ An additional set of extended play prompts for further exploration

You can work through the course at your own pace—no pressure, no deadlines. It’s structured to support your process, not interrupt it.

The course also includes an extended set of play prompts for those who want to keep exploring beyond the core modules.

Self-paced download
The course is available instantly once you purchase. Start when you’re ready, pause when you need to, and come back to it as often as you like.

Flexible, focused modules
Each one invites a different kind of play—through materials, chance, limitation, and more. The goal isn’t to “make finished work”—it’s to open doors.

Personal growth, creative momentum
By the end of the course, you’ll have new ways to begin, a deeper connection to your materials, and more trust in the direction your art is taking.

Creative Play Lab is for artists who:

• Want to refresh or deepen their abstract practice

• Are curious about letting go of outcomes and leaning into process

• Love to explore, but sometimes second-guess or stall out

• Need a bit of structure to stay in motion

• Value creative freedom—but know it’s easier to find with a little guidance

It’s perfect for those at any stage of their journey, from seasoned makers to those returning after time away. If you’re looking to grow your confidence by growing your curiosity, this is for you.

Looking for a small starting point?

Try Creative Sparks, a short 3-day challenge that invites you to break habits, loosen pressure, and explore with playful intention. Originally shared as a live event, it’s now available as a beautifully designed PDF—with prompts, reflections, and insights to open up your process.

🧭 It’s also a gentle lead-in to Creative Play Lab—and includes a thank-you code for £6 off this course.

Creative Play Lab is made for artists who already have some kind of creative practice —whether it’s patchy, uncertain, or in transition.

So, it might not be the best fit if:

• You’re right at the very start of your art journey and haven’t yet begun experimenting on your own

• You’re looking for detailed, step-by-step instruction or formal techniques

• You want tightly structured lessons with set outcomes and clear rule

✨ If you’re just starting out and feeling unsure, I’d love to welcome you to a different course in future — one designed especially to help you build confidence from the very beginning.

Lin is a superb interactive teacher. She encourages us to think outside the box. Lin is so good at reminding us that there are no rules… we paint for us & how we like & improve our art by following our instincts using guidelines. I recommend anyone to book her courses.

Lin’s teaching reenergised my art practice! I learned a lot about why I make the work I make, and some techniques to make it even more interesting.

The best art decision I have made for this year. Thank you, Lin!
