Welcome to Create & Bloom Crafts
Meet the Family! Let's start with our Lou! This is Lou, the founder of chaos, Ahem.....we mean Create and Bloom Crafts. Lou is the colourful heart behind the brand; she'll mostly show up 'winging it'.
Lou is passionate about bringing people together through creativity, community, and a shared love for all things crafty.
Whether you’re looking for private art tuition, eager to dive into the resin world, wanting to boost your social media confidence, or simply craving a bit of joyful ‘me time’, Lou has created the perfect space for you.
She’s gathered a treasure trove of craft supplies, from paints, pigments, glitters, and moulds to tools, creative kits, and far too many epoxy resin goodies (because, honestly, you can never have too many!).
Lou believes in the transformative power of art and imagination and invites you to experience it for yourself, whether in the beautiful, spacious studio, in your own space, or online through video calls and Zoom sessions.
She also creates bespoke craft kits for parties and events, lovingly designed with 2–4 weeks’ notice to make every detail just right. Lou is the spark that makes Create and Bloom shine.
The Bloom Family
Our Creative Crew
Behind every moment of magic at Create and Bloom Crafts is a family of incredible souls who make it all possible. From dedicated staff and creative helpers to those godsent artists who lend a hand just when it’s needed most, this is the beating heart of Bloom.
Each person brings their own spark, strength, and spirit, shaping this business into something far greater than Lou could ever achieve alone.
Their support, love, and belief mean the absolute world, and Create and Bloom simply wouldn’t exist without them.
This is more than a team; it’s a family, a creative force that makes every idea blossom.
The Heart of Apex Resin!
Nic & Laura…and their Boss, Charlie (Woof)
Without this wonderful business.... we so proudly call friends, Create and Bloom simply wouldn’t be what it is today.
They are the heart of the resin community, the cheerleaders, collaborators, and creative souls who inspire us every single day. Their passion, support, and shared love for making keep this community thriving, and quite frankly, they’re our greatest inspiration.
Artist & Chief Organiser
Carolyn
Every creative journey needs a steady hand and a kindred spirit, and for Create & Bloom, that’s Carolyn.
More than the teams best friend, she’s an extraordinary artist, a master organiser, and the person who keeps everything beautifully balanced behind the scenes. Her support, laughter, and unwavering kindness is poured into every part of Create and Bloom.
Carolyn is the quiet magic that holds it all together, proof that friendship, creativity, and heart can build something truly special.
Double Trouble
Ellie & Molly
Every thriving creative space needs a little sparkle and a whole lot of mischief, and that’s exactly what Ellie and Molly bring.
Known affectionately as Double Trouble, they are the chief potters of glitter and chaos, always ready to sprinkle magic (and a bit of mayhem) into the studio.
Their laughter fills the space, their energy keeps the creativity flowing, and their curious hands remind us that crafting is meant to be joyful, messy, and full of heart.
Create and Bloom simply wouldn’t shine as brightly without them.
Head of Cardboard Destruction
Pickles
Every studio needs a leader, and at Create and Bloom, that honour belongs to Pickles, the man of the studio.
With his watchful eyes, wagging tail, and impeccable talent for cardboard box destruction, he oversees every creative moment like a true pro.
Whether he’s supervising glitter spills, greeting visitors with enthusiasm, or taking his “box-munching duties” very seriously, Pickles brings joy, warmth, and plenty of laughter to the space especially at Art Therapy sessions.
He may not wield a paintbrush, but his presence is pure magic.
Resin Artist, Studio Organiser & Potter Extraordinaire
Aimee
Every creative hub needs someone who brings skill, heart, and a touch of magic, and that’s Aimee.
A talented resin artist, chief studio organiser, and studio potter, she keeps the creative energy flowing and the studio beautifully balanced.
With an eye for detail and a hands-on approach, Aimee helps turn ideas into reality, whether she’s pouring resin, packing kits, or keeping the studio in perfect working order.
Aimee is a vital part of the Create and Bloom family, adding creativity, calm, and craft to everything she touches.
You Guys, The Real Magic Makers
The Bloom Believers
And then there’s you, the heartbeat of Create and Bloom. You’re the ones who show up, cheer us on, share our journey, and fill this creative space with love and energy.
Your encouragement, kindness, and unwavering support are what keep the magic alive.
This community isn’t just a group of customers; it’s a family of makers, dreamers, and believers who inspire us every single day.
Without you, none of this would shine as brightly, you’re the reason Bloom continues to grow and flourish.
Big Love to you all
L & the Gang!
