Creative Juice = creative freedom

Our aims:

  • Providing creative workshops, clubs and events that support learning, self-expression and skill development.

  • Offering social creative sessions that reduce isolation and encourage community connection.

  • Supporting wellbeing through relaxed creative activities that promote confidence and positive mental health.

  • Creating opportunities for children, young people and adults to explore creativity in a supportive environment.

  • Working with local organisations, venues and community groups to expand access to arts and cultural activities in Herefordshire.

Originally, Creative Juice began as a monthly craft club at The Jam Factory in February 2025, meeting on the first Tuesday of each month. This much-loved session still continues, while a growing range of workshops and creative events are now offered alongside it.

Creative Juice is a friendly crafting community with a relaxed approach to making things! It’s something different to do in Hereford as a solo date, to meet new like-minded people, bring friends to catch up in a new venue or hang out with family to make new memories!

All ages and abilities are welcome (under 18s must have parent/guardian permission) and there’s always help and inspiration on hand if you need it. Creative Juice also strives to accommodate accessibility needs wherever possible, ensuring everyone can join in, get creative and feel comfortable.

About Lily

Hi, I’m Lily - the founder of Creative Juice!

I startedCreative Juice because I believe creativity should be accessible to everyone.

I have a diverse creative background but my journey started at Hereford College of Arts where had a fantastic year doing my Foundation Diploma. Then, I went on to Nottingham Trent University to study Decorative Arts. I graduated in 2017 and left that wonderfully creative and diverse city to return home to Hereford, where I began to build up my own portfolio and start making creative connections.

I have had many personal and professional creative endeavours including embroidery, flag making, sculpture, costume, painting, lino printing, collage and mural commissions for The Jam Factory, Bao to the Broth and Temple Records amongst others.

I love experimenting with colour and materials or making bright and fun creations!

When I’m not running/planning workshops, you’ll usually find me mooching around charity shops, having a drink in The Barrels or going to my favourite place, Hay Bluff!
