The Joyful Artist
The Joyful Artist is a sanctuary for creatives who feel blocked, scattered, or disconnected and want their spark back. I’ve seen creative fear and blocks, constant worrying about how artistic work will be received, imposter syndrome, isolation and creative groups serving as negative comparisons. I have seen the damage not valuing creativity for the sake of it, not honouring the creative urge can do.
The missing piece… There are many books about creative joy but degrees and creative courses focus on how to make money from your creativity or how to “succeed” in your industry. This course gives you support from an experienced teacher and space that values your creative self and gives you the sanctuary you need to grow.
This is why I created this… To give you the support you need to find joy in creativity.
Who is it for?
You are constantly asking yourself why you are creating your art.
You often don’t feel confident sharing your work or calling yourself an artist
You’re craving structure, support and routine.
You are trying to juggle your creative practice with everything else in life often leading to creativity getting squeezed out.
You work alone and feel isolated, missing genuine connection with other creatives that’s not competitive.
You feel pangs of guilt or jealousy when you see other people’s creative achievements - especially on social media.
The Joyful Artist offers a supportive structure that leads you through your quest for creative joy. Whether you are creatively blocked or burnt out here you can find the sanctuary you need to build your joyful creative life.
Live Sessions (with replays) — I help you
Each week, we meet for a live session designed to spark creativity, shift mindset blocks, and get you making again. If you can’t make it live, replays are available so you can still feel connected and supported.
These sessions are where you’ll be seen, heard, and gently guided. Think of them as your creative sanctuary; a place to reset, refocus, and recharge.
Resource Library / Course — You help yourself
In between live sessions, you’ll have access to a growing library of inspiring resources: creative prompts, short videos, workbooks, reading materials and practical tools to explore on your own.
This is your playground. You can dip in anytime, follow your curiosity, and move at your own pace. It's here to help you build habits and momentum that stick.
Community — You help each other
You’ll be part of a warm, welcoming group of fellow creatives. I host a space to share, reflect, celebrate wins, and support one another. Creativity can be solitary, but it doesn’t have to be lonely.
When you connect with others who get it, your joy expands. Together, you’ll grow more confident, inspired, and open to what’s possible.
This is more than just a course - it’s a creative reset.
A permission slip.
A place to come alive again.
You can book a free brainstorming call with Bryony if you are interested but not sure how you might work best together.
“Before, I often felt stuck, doubting my ideas and worrying about whether they were “good enough.” But the supportive environment and inspiring exercises in the course encouraged me to let go of those fears and trust my instincts.”
