Creative Connections

Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity runs shape painting sessions and hands-on craft workshops for children, families, and adults across Wigan and the surrounding areas of Lancashire.
Our sessions are more than just arts and crafts — they’re safe, welcoming spaces where people can relax, express themselves, and connect with others through creativity.

  • Who are we?

    Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity delivers fun, welcoming paint and craft sessions designed to support mental health and wellbeing through the power of creativity.

    We currently run sessions at a range of venues across the Wigan area, offering something for everyone – from relaxed adult sip & paint evenings and mindful art workshops, to playful children’s craft sessions and community co-creation projects.

    All of our sessions are designed to be pressure-free, inclusive, and good for the soul – no experience needed, just a willingness to have a go.

    We also offer private bookings for birthdays, baby showers, wellbeing days, team-building events, and more. I can come to you, or help find a cosy and creative local venue to host your session.

    (*Please note: The Little Shop of Creativity at 29 Preston Road is no longer open.)

    Hi, I’m Emma – founder of Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity CIC.

    My aim is to make arts and crafts sessions accessible to everyone, because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful creativity can be for our mental health and wellbeing. This work is deeply personal to me. I’ve watched people I love struggle with their mental health – including my amazing mum, who has now sadly passed away.

    Through my own experiences, I’ve felt how much art can lift your mood, calm the mind, and help you feel a little less alone. That’s why I pour my heart into every session we run.

    I’m so proud of what Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity is becoming, and I can’t wait to welcome you at one of our upcoming events.

    With love,

    Emma xo
