Sadie Spikes’ Alternative Art School
Classes designed to get you to think differently, to play more, to feel lighter, excited and be less bogged down in what can sometimes just feel like a treadmill.
Our Curiosity is extinguished as we get older, we live life shaped by ideas and beliefs imposed by all kinds of stories we are told.
I have always had trouble with this!
Our creativity is mashed out of us in so many ways, it is ridiculed, seen as folly, undermined because it is powerful. When we are fully engaged, questioning people, fired up with our own creative dreams and ambitions, we rock…we are powerful, we shine. We owe it to ourselves to live life to the fullest –and push past those minimising beliefs.
I am deeply passionate about being a champion for creativity. I want to empower as many people as I can to engage in their own creative journeys and dreams.
Creativity is not a frivolous pursuit, it is our life force, the steam in our engines, the joy in our hearts, the fire in our souls!

My ‘F*ck it Mrs Ducket Classes’ are not just ordinary creativity classes.
They encourage a gentle letting go, a rethink, reboot, in the kindest most non-judgemental way, in a unique, intriguing, and joyous space with an emphasis on fun and rebellion. This isn’t just about loosening up the restrictions you have about your creativity and firing up your creative soul, these classes are about so, so much more..

Mr Benn and Buddha for a party.
I run a variety of events, from creative courses, dance classes, talks and pop-ups. Check out the listings here for an overview of what’s coming up.
