HI, I'M BAILLIE
With a passion for both the arts and meaningful human connections, I wanted to combine the two—and so this movement was born. Create the Conversation is more than just arts and crafts; it’s about preserving traditional skills that are at risk of being lost over time.
Imagine a future where generations don’t know how to mend their clothes, cook from scratch, or grow their own food. Our mission is to ensure those essential crafts are not only preserved but celebrated. At the same time, we aim to give you a sense of purpose, encourage you to be present, and inspire you to challenge yourself by learning something new.
In today’s world, hobbies are often replaced by endless scrolling on technology. We get it—we’re from this generation too. That’s why we’ve chosen to use technology as a tool for good, bringing creativity and connection back into your life. Through our workshops, DIY kits, and digital resources, we’re helping you reconnect with yourself, others, and the traditions that ground us all. Join us in this movement to create, connect, and keep these skills alive for generations to come.

SO, WHAT ARE THE CONVERSATIONS?
CONVERSATIONS WITH YOURSELF: Discover the joy of creativity with our DIY kits, thoughtfully curated for both adults and children to explore traditional arts and crafts from the comfort of home. Each kit includes all the materials and easy-to-follow instructions needed to complete a specific craft, making it simple and fun to get started. Perfect for gifting or indulging in a creative project, our DIY kits will be available in stores and online through our website.
​
CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHERS: Celebrate milestones and special occasions with our tailored, Creative Workshops, designed for group settings. Hosted at a location of your choice, each workshop brings together a minimum of 8 participants for a hands-on crafting experience. The cost per person includes all materials needed to create the chosen craft, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. These workshops are perfect for connecting, collaborating, and unleashing your creativity with like-minded individuals.
​
CONVERSATIONS TO SHARE: To complement our offerings and reach as many people as possible, we created a digital platform designed for creatives like you! Our Monthly Makers Membership provides access to video tutorials, resources, patterns, and a supportive community of fellow makers. Each month, a new craft is released, and for just $9.99 per month, you can enjoy everything the membership offers. This accessible resource encourages everyone to embrace a hobby, learn new skills, and foster creativity while being more resourceful. Through this platform, we aim to spark inspiration and ensure traditional crafts are preserved and carried forward for future generations.
MATERIALS & TOOLS

We also offer workshops, these could be for any event you have organised; hen's do, team building, birthday party, friends get-togethers and more! We come to your location, with all the materials you need to learn one craft. We just require a minimum of 8 people for the workshop and the price depends on location, type of workshop and how many people.
