Sharing the love: Snapdragon Life
If you’re feeling a bit creatively depleted, I think I have just the thing for you! Jane Lindsey has created Snapdragon Life, offering three ways to connect: a creative membership space, carefully curated craft supplies shop and collection of inspiring creative online courses.
The Studio Club
The Studio Club is an affordable membership space with the intention of bringing nature-based creativity into your life within a supportive, generous community. Jane has put together beautiful natural craft kits to make joining in even easier (which you’ll find in the shop – details below). I speak from experience having recently joined up and treated myself to the embroidered needle case kit. I’m planning to enjoy making this once Autumn arrives.
I love how Jane describes the Studio Club: ‘You don’t need talent, experience, or hours of free time. Whether you’re returning to creativity—or never left—The Studio meets you where you are.
Everything is kitchen-table friendly and designed for real life: busy days, tired hands, uneven rhythms. We keep supplies simple, the pace gentle, and support close at hand—so you never feel behind, or alone in the making.’
It’s a different kind of community that really chimes with me: No social media. No noise. Just a private space built on generosity, kindness, and shared creative rhythms.
Themes for the club change with the seasons: it might be dyeing embroidery threads with flowers, it might be making herbal balms, it might be creating an heirloom patchwork stocking or a journal. It might be learning to dye fabric with food waste. It is always hands on.
Sprinkled amidst all that are field notes, recipes, book recommendations, and ideas for slowing down and living a more engaged life. I’m not sure anyone could create something more up my street…
It is an affordable way to participate in real time, working together, being able to ask questions and get support.
Members also get discounted supplies, access to an amazing library of courses and exclusive live chats with experts from the worlds of textiles, design, gardening, writing and foraging.
