About Us

Lifestyle & mindfulness coach, Yvonne Anderson met Kim Beaton, a master sculptor with a deep background in film and public sculpture, around 15 years ago.

Kim spoke not just with her hands but with the wisdom of decades working in the 3D physical realm.

They realised that between them lived a fusion. Kim's knowledge of physical form & Yvonne's coaching in emotional and inner transformation could come together to build something new. That something became a female-led business called Create Ed Ltd to create The Artful Awareness Academy.

Artful Sculptor Participant:

“The Artful Sculptor is a comprehensive fundamentals course that takes you from small clay work all the way to large-scale sculpture, and uniquely pairs hands-on technique with the mindset tools to help you claim your identity as an artist.

As someone with no formal training in sculpture, I've been genuinely surprised by how confident and knowledgeable I feel after working through this material. The course builds progressively - from small-scale work with polymer and plasticine clay to large sculptures made with Pal Tiya - teaching you how to construct different types of armatures along the way, so the skills always feel connected and purposeful.

The projects are well-paced and easy to follow, and I've been delighted by my ability to keep up and apply the techniques to my own work.

What sets this course apart, though, is its psychological and emotional dimension. It invites you to reflect on why you make art, gives you real tools to silence that inner impostor, and helps you carve out dedicated time for the work you're passionate about. The program is so comprehensive and packed with content that I haven't finished it yet - but I look forward to every upcoming project.”
