About Cat's Creative Events
About Cat’s Creative Events
Bringing the joy of art to the Coachella Valley for over forty years, one ukulele, mosaic, and teddy bear at a time.
Hello, I'm Cat!
Everyone has a creative spark
For over 40 years, I've had the joy of helping people of all ages discover theirs.
Whether you're holding a paintbrush for the first time or you're an experienced maker looking to try a new medium, my goal is to make art approachable, relaxing, and incredibly fun.
Since 2000, I've been an affiliated instructor with the Idyllwild Arts Summer Program, surrounded by inspiring artists and eager learners. But my heart has always been in sharing these experiences with my local community.
We come to you
I'm based in beautiful Sky Valley, and Cat's Creative Events is a fully mobile studio. Hosting a birthday party in Palm Springs, a team-building event in Palm Desert, or a cozy private lesson in La Quinta? I pack up the supplies and bring the workshop to your door.
Build your very own ukulele, get lost in the meditative rhythm of mosaic, upcycle clothes, or alter a book. Every class is designed to let you explore, make mistakes, and create something you're truly proud of.
