Nurturing creativity

A second childhood, painted by hand

Creative Aging is one of the special programs offered alongside the studio's regular classes and workshops. It focuses on nurturing creativity in older adults, using art as a tool for engagement and well-being.

Sessions are guided and encouraging, leaving room for each participant to work at their own pace with the materials and mediums that suit them.

  • Art-based activities designed around seniors
  • Guided practice in painting and other creative mediums
  • Room for open, self-directed artistic exploration

How it works

Three simple ingredients

1

Guided activities

Each gathering is structured with clear, supportive guidance so participants feel comfortable picking up a brush for the first time or returning to a familiar medium.

2

Art as engagement

Making something with your hands becomes a way to connect, to be present in the moment, and to enjoy the simple pleasure of a blank surface.

3

Open exploration

Beyond the guided work, there is space for participants to follow their own curiosity with the materials at hand.

Our approach

Creativity has no age limit — it only needs a little time and a warm welcome.

At SpiceUp, the aim is simple: to add 'spice' to people's lives through creativity. Creative Aging sits alongside Creative Expression and the wider class schedule, all guided by Swarna Sitaraman, a self-taught artist and Creativity Consultant.
