Cycles
Four creative cycles each year keep you aligned with the seasons. Each has a guiding theme that connects the monthly projects and focuses your creative energy.

The Lab is resting for now
The Creative Lab is currently closed for new members, but the doors will open again for a new season.
If you would like to be the first to know when we welcome new Wildlings inside, join my Nature Magic newsletter. I write gentle letters about nature inspired mixed media, creative rituals, and behind the scenes stories from the Lab, so you can keep creating while you wait.
Join my Nature Magic newsletter 🌿A Creative Journey Through the Seasons
grow, explore, and create at your own rhythm
The Wild Creative Lab is a year-round creative space for artists who love nature and mixed media. It keeps your creative rhythm alive, no matter the season.
Each month brings a new project guided by Francisca or a guest artist, combining techniques like monoprinting, collage, stitching, mark-making, and journaling.
You’ll also access a growing library of past projects and join a supportive community of artists sharing ideas, questions, and inspiration.

“The thing I like most about this group is being able to dip in and out when I want to…
I love the fact that we have a whole year of seasons to cover…
The Creative Lab has given me the confidence to do things I have never tried before.
A bit of Francisca has released a slightly more carefree and daring artist!

“The thing I like most about this group is being able to dip in and out when I want to.
I have enjoyed getting to know people in the group better, mainly via the Facebook group. Such a supportive bunch.
I love the fact that we have a whole year of seasons to cover, especially during the winter months when it’s dark and cold outside.
I will enjoy hiding away in my hobby room practising some of the things I am learning.
I have totally fallen in love with stitching pages and that will be my next journal.
The Creative Lab has given me the confidence to do things I have never tried before. I used to watch other course videos and was always a bit too scared to try. Now I just get stuck in!
I am determined to master the geli plate and realise now that I need to not expect everything to turn out perfect first time.
So, I think I can say with sincerity that a bit of Francisca has released a slightly more carefree and daring artist!
Thank you for setting this up.”

About your guide
Francisca Nunes
Nature-led mixed media artist, founder of the Wild Creative Lab, Flowers Magic Art Fest and the course Printed Nature.
I’ve always had a wild mind, full of ideas, colors and textures. For a long time I tried to create in the “right” way, following rules that didn’t feel like me. Everything shifted when I started listening to my own rhythm and creating from the inside out, with nature as my biggest guide.
Today my work is rooted in wild creativity inspired by the seasons, plants and printed textures. Through Printed Nature, my courses and the Flowers Magic Art Fest, I’ve guided artists from all over the world to explore, play and build a body of work that feels honest and alive.
Inside the Wild Creative Lab, I walk with you through the seasons and help you keep a gentle creative rhythm, trust your wild mind and let nature become your studio. I also invite guest artists with unique voices and distinctive styles. Each one brings a different way of seeing and experimenting, so you grow not only with my guidance, but through the rich artistic diversity of our Wildlings community.
