JOIN A CREATIVE SESSIONCome along to Creative Pages Club, a one-off workshop, or a community event. Made for curious beginners, experienced crafters, and anyone craving a relaxed screen break.
The Creative Studio in Hawke's Bay for Hands-on creative experiences.
Amy Lou Creative: Where creativity is something you do, not something you’re good at.
I create relaxed, hands-on experiences that give people space to play, connect and try something new without pressure. From Creative Pages Club and private workshops to the Bead Bar, community events and the occasional design or illustration project, everything I do is about making creativity feel easier to say yes to.
The common thread?
Creativity as an experience, not a talent.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO GET CREATIVE?
There’s no right way in. Join a relaxed public session, book something for your own group, or bring the Bead Bar to your next event.
Everything is beginner-friendly, hands-on, and designed to feel fun rather than intimidating.
BOOK A PRIVATE SESSIONBring your workplace, friends, or community together for a creative experience shaped around your group. I provide the materials, guidance, and a low-pressure space to make something.
BRING THE BEAD BARAdd a colourful, hands-on activity to your party, market, or event. Guests can design bracelets, keychains, bag tags, and more, with everything supplied.

"The bead bar is hands down the most creative hub in the bay. Let your juices flow and relax making the most beutiful, customisable jewellery and accessories you have seen. From the pop up market, to birthday party’s, and the newly added workshops Amy has all your crafty needs covered.
I myself have made various bag charms, bracelet and phone charms aswell as attending a workshop and most recently helping with a market stall. Amy is such a friendly , kind, warming person making crafting by feel safe, stress free and exiting."

"I commissioned Amy to create a map of Melbourne as a gift for a friend, and she did a wonderful job of it! It's a beautiful way to remember a city and looks amazing hanging up on the wall.
Amy is extremely easy to work with and her work is always top notch. I would 100% recommend her for anything like this"
