Lauren Martin - Cool Aunt Creatives - Building Spaces to Play
<p>This one is a long one (and a fun one). My conversation with Lauren Martin, founder of Cool Aunt Creatives, clocks in at just over two hours and covers a huge range of ideas about community, creativity, and what it means to keep building a meaningful life after school.</p><br><p>Lauren shares her Guelph origin story, how exploring downtown shaped her early connection to the city (including a shared love for the now-gone Dis-a-Rays), and what it was like navigating that post-university chapter of moving away, coming back, and trying to find real community as an adult. We also dig into her pandemic-era reset, learning new creative skills through trial and error, and how all of that eventually led to Cool Aunt Creatives, its workshops, and its bigger event universe.</p><br><p>We talk about:</p><p>- Coming to Guelph for school and choosing to stay</p><p>- Making friends as an adult and building “third spaces”</p><p>- Learning new hobbies, making mistakes, and pushing through discomfort</p><p>- The meaning behind “Cool Aunt” and the ethos of the brand</p><p>- Why structured play matters, especially for adults</p><p>- Cool Aunt Creatives workshops, markets, and the kind of makers Lauren loves to work with</p><p>- Fairy & Iron and building a fantasy world that continues across events</p><p>- Creating dance spaces for adults that are joyful, structured, and not overly competitive</p><br><p><strong>Connect with Cool Aunt Creatives:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://coolauntcreatives.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://coolauntcreatives.com/</a></p><p>Events calendar: <a href="https://coolauntcreatives.com/events-calendar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://coolauntcreatives.com/events-calendar</a></p><p>Workshops: <a href="https://coolauntcreatives.com/workshops-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://coolauntcreatives.com/workshops-1</a></p><p>Cool Aunt Jr: <a href="https://coolauntcreatives.com/cool-aunt-jr-summer-camp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://coolauntcreatives.com/cool-aunt-jr-summer-camp</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/coolauntcreatives/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/coolauntcreatives/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/coolauntcreatives/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/coolauntcreatives/</a></p><p>More links (including other platforms): <a href="https://linktr.ee/coolauntcreatives" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/coolauntcreatives</a></p><br><p><strong>Thanks for listening!</strong></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Steph Clarke - Guelph Tool Library - A Downtown Beacon for DIY
<p>This episode is a sequel! Sort of. Last time I spoke to Steph Clarke from the Guelph Tool Library was in episode 3 in November of 2024 of this podcast. This time, I’m in-person with Steph Clarke, now the Community Engagement Manager at the Guelph Tool Library in the Old Quebec Street Shoppes. We talk about how the Tool Library has grown since our first Zoom chat, how local artists have helped transform the space into a welcoming community hub, and the impact the library is having through programs like the Free Hub and free bike repairs. We also dig into what’s next, including Repair Cafés, Seedy Saturday with Yorklands Green Hub, the Brush Battle fundraiser, and the Free To Read book sale supporting Books for Inmates.</p><br><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><br><p>Guelph Tool Library: <a href="https://guelphtoollibrary.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://guelphtoollibrary.org/</a></p><p>GTL Calendar (events): <a href="https://guelphtoollibrary.org/calendar/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://guelphtoollibrary.org/calendar/</a></p><p>Repair Café info: <a href="https://guelphtoollibrary.org/repair-cafe/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://guelphtoollibrary.org/repair-cafe/</a></p><p>Seedy Saturday (Wellington County event page): <a href="https://www.wellington.ca/calendar/seedy-saturday-hosted-guelph-seed-library-yorklands-green-hub-and-guleph-tool-library" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wellington.ca/calendar/seedy-saturday-hosted-guelph-seed-library-yorklands-green-hub-and-guleph-tool-library</a></p><p>Seedy Saturday workshop schedule (Yorklands): <a href="https://yorklandsgreenhub.ca/seedy-saturday-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://yorklandsgreenhub.ca/seedy-saturday-2/</a></p><p>Brush Battle tickets: <a href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/brush-battle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/brush-battle</a></p><p>Free To Read (book sale): <a href="https://guelphtoollibrary.org/free-to-read/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://guelphtoollibrary.org/free-to-read/</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening, you can reach me with comments or suggest a guest at GrowingGuelph AT Gmail dot com!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
