Scenes From Sydney: What's On Your Social Calendar?

By Jaclyn Carlson The Sydney creative scene has been bursting at the seams lately with book launches, birthday events and other celebrations of creativity – it’s enough to keep a girl's social calendar full!  I’m here this month to report back on a few events that caught my eye as well as a few upcoming gatherings that you’ll certainly want to keep an eye on…

First up is a collaboration of the best kind – blogger Jodie Wilson, of Che & Fidel  fame teams up with talented photographer Tim Coulson to host The Creatives, a full day of creative writing & photography goodness on 3 May -  I can't wait to hear all about this one and certainly will be booking myself in for their next workshop.

Up next is an event that I look forward to every year - Vivid Sydney. One of Sydney’s finest gatherings of creative minds and visionaries gathers throughout May & June as part of the Vivid Sydney or more specifically, the Vivid Ideas Exchange.  This year I can't wait to check out an event with 3 creative female bloggers entitled - We Blog The City on May 25 - don't miss it!

And finally I couldn't help but share a birthday wish to super stylist Megan Morton as she rings in The School's first birthday with a creative bash to end all others.  If you missed this one here in Sydney then I'm sure you would have seen the images & craft goodness that flooded Instagram or watch out soon when The School invades Melbourne, make sure to sign up for a class (or two).  Enjoy!
