play over perfection
It's so nice to meet you! We are a community for humans who have a desire to create, connect, and play. No hustle or grind, all joy and fun. So let's throw some stuff on the wall together and see what sticks.
our philosophy
We all have beliefs that hold us back. Maybe we don't see ourselves as "Artists," or we struggle to stay committed to our creative projects. Sometimes we have ideas waiting to be brought to life, or we just feel a desire to create without knowing where to start. We miss the joy of creating, like we did when we were kids. Because being creative feels good, even if the result isn't perfect. Making things with others is where the magic happens. And it's even better when we create a practice, blending our creativity seamlessly into our lives so it's second nature.Regular creative expression has proven benefits for our mental, emotional, and social well-being—especially important now (gestures wildly at everything happening). Creative Spaghetti brings together community, play, and habit. We're here to help you unleash your creativity, reconnect with your inner child, and enjoy the process of creating alongside others. Because when we do things together, they tend to last. That's our mission. Come join us for the journey!
Community
IRL & Online. We've designed beginner friendly workshops & events to help you meet new people and start your creative practice in ATL. For those joining virtually, we'll host monthly happy hours for members to connect and find accountability in our community.
play
We exist to get your out of your head and into your hands. Making, doing, feeling, flowing. No overthinking, just playing like we are kids again without agenda or expectation. FUN is a central part of our DNA, placing our emphasis on process over perfection.
habit
Life is busy and there's always a million reasons NOT to do something, especially a new thing. We believe a creative practice is like going to the gym— a necessary part of living a healthy life. Our monthly newsletters help you do just that with challenges and inspiration to help get you started.

A bit about us
We met when we were working as art directors at an advertising agency in Atlanta. We spent many years refining our work craft— learning new skills, attending conferences, brushing up on the latest tools. For both of us, however, we reached a level in our careers where, to put it plainly, we lost the joy of creating. We spent so much time making creativity an output and function of our job that we forgot how to keep some of it just for us. To make with no expectations. To freaking play like children. To be a silly goose free from our own judgment.Since we've both left the grind of agency culture, we've found space again for making. Rachel picked up weaving again. Melissa dabbled in clay. And we remembered how good it felt just to let our creativity run free, to play, and to feel connected to others doing the same.
Events
