I'm Not Creative" : Busting the Biggest Myth About Art

Think You're Not Creative? Think Again.

How many times have you heard someone say, "Oh, I'm not creative"? Maybe you've even said it yourself. At Faire & Co, we hear it every week and every time, we smile. Because we know something you don’t (yet): creativity isn’t a talent. It’s a skill. And it lives inside all of us.

The Problem With “I’m Not Creative”

It’s not just a throwaway comment. That phrase can stop people from picking up a paintbrush, trying something new, or letting themselves play. It creates a wall between us and the joy of creating. But here’s the truth: creativity is not about being good at art. It’s about being willing to explore, experiment and express yourself, mess and all.

Process Over Perfection

At Faire & Co, our approach is process art. That means we care less about what the final artwork looks like and way more about how it feels to make it. We celebrate splashes, scribbles, layers, and happy accidents. Because that’s where the magic is, in the making.

Here’s what happens when you ditch perfection:

• You stop comparing.

• You start experimenting.

• You rediscover joy.

• You surprise yourself.

What We See in Every Studio Session

Adults who haven’t made art since school… toddlers who think with their hands… teens who find their voice in colour. Our studio is full of people proving that creativity lives in every age and ability. And every week, we watch it come alive in the most unexpected ways.

You Don’t Need Talent. You Need a Place to Begin.

Creativity doesn’t require fancy tools or years of training. It just needs a safe, playful space — and a gentle nudge. That’s what we’re here for. Our classes, from toddlers to adults, are built for beginners, dabblers, and “I’m not creative” types.
