No 47 - A Gift of Support: Thank You, Jackson’s Art Materials

There’s something quietly powerful about preparing a space for others to create — a kind of sacred tending. As I gather materials and energies for my upcoming workshops and Creative Calm Pathways, I’ve been moved by the support that flows in from unexpected places, reminding me that this work is held, seen and valued.

It’s with a full and grateful heart that I share some beautiful news: Jackson’s Art Materials have kindly offered a sponsorship gift to support this next series of workshops. Their generosity has come in the form of luscious paints and handmade Khadi paper — materials that will not only serve the creative process but will also help to nourish the deeper intentions that underlie everything we do at The Peaceful Paintbrush.

Jackson’s have long been a trusted name among artists. Founded in 2000, they’ve grown from a small London-based company into an international art materials supplier, known for their commitment to quality, ethical sourcing, and supporting creatives across all disciplines. Their passion for the artist’s journey is woven into everything they offer — from handmade papers to finely milled pigments — and it’s a joy to collaborate with a brand so aligned with soulful, intentional practice.

This post and celebration isn’t just about supplies. It’s about being met on the path. It’s about witnessing how acts of generosity — from individuals and organisations alike — ripple outward into creative communities.

For many who attend, these workshops or my sessions are not just about making art. They are about softening. About remembering. About expressing something wordless that lives beneath the surface. Having tools that feel intentional, tactile, and well-made can be such a gentle affirmation: your expression matters, your creativity is worthy.

So to Jackson’s Art Materials — thank you.

Your support is a blessing not only to me but to every heart that will explore and free flow in creative medicine over the coming year.

And to those of you reading: if this kind of space speaks to something in you, I’d love to welcome you into a future workshop. Whether you’re new to creativity or returning home to it, there is room here for you.

With warmth and gratitude,

Join us this summer at the Green Door Centre, Bosham, West Sussex, UK

Shakti Sangha is not a typical art workshop. It’s a space where you’re invited to simply show up as you are — no experience required, no expectations, no pressure.

You’ll be surrounded by kindred spirits — each person following their own creative thread — held in a space of quiet encouragement and shared presence. Whether you create in solitude or share your work with others, you’ll feel the quiet strength of the collective holding you.

✔️ No experience needed — just an open heart.

✔️ A rare chance to slow down and listen inwardly.

✔️ A heart-centred space to create and connect.

✔️ Gentle prompts to guide you — but no pressure to create.

✔️ Come as you are. Leave feeling restored.

This is your permission slip to create without expectation — to soften into the present moment and allow creative flow to emerge naturally.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate. If you feel the pull, trust it — your creative spirit is already waiting.

👉 Reserve Your Spot — the moment you say yes, the shift begins.

With warmth and gratitude,

Jo & Tina

Step into the circle. Come home to your creative self.
