Creative Mornings Glasgow
CreativeMornings is a free monthly breakfast lecture series, with chapters across the world. It's a time for creative folks to get together, get inspired and connect with each other. Each month has a global theme which the event centres around.
CM usually starts 9-10.30am, with breakfast and hot drinks included! We start with half an hour for breakfast and chatting, before moving onto the speaker, who will give a 30-minute talk with questions afterwards. Things usually wrap up around 10.30am and people are left to enjoy the rest of their Friday feeling inspired!
Lovely local partner ALT agency have been partnering with the Glasgow chapter for just over a year and thanks to them the community is kept caffeinated and full of pastries (and often hosted in their gorgeous office space!)

Simplicity provides clarity, but layers give our work a richer complexity and depth.
Musicians fuse melodies, harmonies, and rhythms to create more dynamic compositions. While other artists use a juxtaposition of colors, textures, images or materials for greater visual impact. The creative magic happens when those choices conjure different interpretations and emotions.
Because people have layers too. Just like a collage is created by overlapping layers of found materials, we pile up experiences that form our beliefs and reactions.
The cliché “beauty is only skin deep” means that a pleasant appearance does not guarantee a virtuous character. We are a mess of competing emotions and personality traits. So how we act to the outside world doesn’t always reflect how we feel inside. We make polite chit chat when it takes vulnerable conversations to form meaningful connections.
Surface level pleasantries and superficial decoration have their place. But it is the layers that give life meaning. We must peel them away to discover our deeper truths.
