Imagine a vibrant industrial building, bustling with creativity.
Studios are alive with activity - ideas are flowing, projects are taking shape, and connections are being made. Artists move freely between spaces, sharing their work, exchanging ideas, and offering support. There’s a Community Gallery to showcase creations, rooms dedicated to everything from stitching to poetry and there's even a cosy Tea Room for inspiring conversations.
Now, envision this space online - welcome to THE ARTHOUSE, your virtual studio! It’s a place where you can drop in anytime. Whether you’re here to dive deeply into your art, connect with fellow creatives or simply take a moment to relax, this is your space to create, grow and feel a sense of belonging.

How THE ARTHOUSE came to life
Creativity has been a foundational part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s shaped who I am, how I see the world and how I connect with others. Over the years, I’ve dreamed of creating a different kind of art community - one that doesn’t only teach techniques or follow trends, but one that truly understands what it means to live a creative life. A space that supports you in growing your practice, finding your voice, and staying inspired even on the days when creativity feels out of reach.
That dream became THE ARTHOUSE.
THE ARTHOUSE isn’t about giving you more tutorials, exercises or rules to follow. It’s about helping you to tap into what’s already within you - guiding you to create work that feels like you; authentic, meaningful and alive.
I know this journey because I’ve been there too. I’ve faced the blank canvas, unsure where to begin. I’ve felt the frustration of too many ideas and not getting started And I’ve also celebrated those breakthroughs, the moments when everything clicks, things seem to flow - and you feel unstoppable.
This is a place for everyone, no matter your age, experience or ability. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been creating for decades, you can start exactly where you are, and THE ARTHOUSE will meet you there. Our monthly calendar is packed with sessions for you to create a schedule which works for you. Whether you’re craving lively, chatty gatherings to spark new ideas or quiet, focused meet-ups to dive deep into your work, there’s a place for you here. Join coaching-style sessions to find clarity, journaling spaces to reflect and reset and 'non-outcome' based sessions to play and experiment without pressure. Share your thoughts and ideas in supportive group conversations or simply show up and create alongside others who get it.

Because We Must
We come from
an amalgamation
of artists past
who felt a longing
a need, to create
to add ink to paper
brush to canvas
arranging shapes
and wandering lines colors, textures, words
Vulnerable, yes
but brave and true
we follow their lead Intuitively creating
because we must

LIVE ACTION
THE ARTHOUSE is built around taking action. Not just thinking about your art, but doing it.
Not just dreaming, but showing up even when it’s hard. Because creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration to strike. It’s about showing up, scribbling in your sketchbook, writing a few messy lines or adding a single brushstroke to your canvas. It’s in those small, seemingly insignificant moments that progress happens.
a HOLISTIC APPROACH
At THE ARTHOUSE, we embrace all aspects of a creative practice. Whether it’s journaling, poetry, experimental drawing, slow stitching or any other form of expression, we celebrate it all. You're welcome to focus on one thing or explore many - what matters is developing a personal creative practice that works for you. Every aspect enhances your growth, offering unique ways to express yourself. Because creativity doesn’t live in one box; it thrives when you let it flow freely.
OWNING YOUR PRACTICE
I want every ARTHOUSE artist to create freely from a place of courage and confidence.
My role isn’t to tell you what to do but to guide you in making your own choices about your artmaking journey.
Tools like our monthly calendar of live sessions are here to support you - attend one, some, or all, depending on what fits your schedule. It’s empowering to organise your month, gain clarity, and focus on what feels important in your practice. This is your journey and THE ARTHOUSE is here to support you.
Doing THE work
Stop overthinking and start creating!
The joy, clarity and progress you’re looking for come from taking action - and we’re here to help you make it happen.
Join our live sessions, connect with fellow ARTHOUSE artists and let the momentum guide you. You might choose to tidy your brushes or you might finish a painting.
The more you create, the less precious you’ll become. The more risks you take, the more alive both you and your art will feel.
Let’s get to work!

Louise Fletcher
'Absolutely blown away by this conversation! Sensitive, challenging and lots of insights in being a 'proper artist', and making us realise that all of us have the same fears, anxieties and often challenging lives. So many realisations hit home, not least that both of you are vulnerable and have great depth of understanding which go towards being great teachers, but you also have challenges in your painting even though your experience is vast! I loved your interview Sally-Anne, the questions you posed sparked a wonderful conversation xxx '

Katie Sollohub
'Just the best interview between two people I respect so much in their art practice. Over the years I’ve done several of Katie’s workshops all of which still resonate and continue to seep into my mind and work. Her time of meditation prior to beginning any practical session has always grounded and alerted my senses and has helped me release self inflicted pressure and expectations in my work and opened the door to freedom . I had thought for awhile how much Sally-Anne would love and appreciate Katie’s practice, it’s made my day seeing and listening to this today. Thank you both'
Helle Johansen-Baker
'Wow! Three words to describe this artist.. courageous resilient optimistic. What an insightful video.. food for thought for the rest of my day. Thank you 🙏'
ENCOURAGMENT + SUPPORT
Here’s the truth: creativity isn’t always easy. Some days, it flows effortlessly.
Other days, it feels like walking through treacle. But over time, those small, consistent steps add up.
They build momentum. They build confidence. And most importantly, they build trust in yourself,
in your process, and in your ability to keep going.
Welcome to The Arthouse, a place where your art can truly come alive.
I created THE ARTHOUSE because I believe every artist deserves a space like this.
A space where you can show up as you are, wherever you are in your journey.
A space where you’re supported, inspired and reminded that you’re not alone.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to take that next step in your creative practice, this is it!
