Forth Valley Creative Network Creative Flow is hosted by Creative Stirling and collaborators as we grow a Forth Valley Creative Network to bring together creatives from across the region. We are delighted this month to be collaborating with Craft Central in Dunblane. Join us on November 27th for our next Creative Flow gathering where we bring together creatives from across the Forth Valley region to connect and share news or opportunities. There will be free coffee, tea, and fruit available for attendees.
What to expect?
Creative Flow is a casual monthly gathering of creatives who practice, work, and/or live in the Forth Valley region. A creative peer network to support, share news and opportunities with each other. When you arrive, help yourself to a cuppa and settle in, we will have a short introduction from Natalie who will introduce us to the activities of Craft Central's two schools - Central Scotland School of Craft and the Central Scotland School of Jewellery - followed by community shoutouts where you can highlight an opportunity or creative project you are working on. The rest of the morning will be blethering.
Who will be there?
Creatives of any stage, age, creative discipline, or practice. This is a safe and welcoming event for creatives alike to connect, extend their professional networks, and find out about upcoming opportunities in the Forth Valley region. Creatives can be hard to define: all are welcome, but as a guide we're expecting artists, writers, performers, designers, musicians, digital creators, studio providers, support orgs, craft makers, producers, curators, filmmakers, animators, game designers, art directors, educators, participatory creatives, workshop providers, architects, fashion, and many more.
