Creatives & Community
Coffee Klatch Thursday mornings 9AM!
Cocktails & Conversations Wed Happy Hour 6pm!
The Coffee Klatch is a standing Thursday morning invitation — a topic to spark the conversation, good coffee, and honest talk about what it means to make things in Waunakee. We rotate locations around town, always starting at 9am. Each gathering opens with a suggested discussion subject, and the conversation goes from there.
Open to members and anyone considering joining. If you have an idea for an opening topic or would like to host a Thursday morning, we'd love to hear from you.

Tempo and Time Management for Creatives
A two-part Coffee Klatch
Creative work doesn't fit neatly into a calendar. Some days the ideas won't stop, and some days nothing moves. Deadlines, day jobs, and family pull in every direction. Setting a schedule that actually works is one of the hardest parts of making things.
Part 1 — Naming the problems
We'll talk honestly about where things break down: finding time, protecting focus, managing the business side, and keeping momentum when motivation dips.

Cocktails & Conversation
Member? Thinking about becoming one? Either way, come have a cocktail or a mocktail with us.
Join Create Waunakee for a casual meet and greet at The Tasting Room — our newest watering hole, downtown Waunakee. It's the sister to the Monona spot that's been named Best of Madison for Best Bar and Best Cocktail. Think craft cocktails built to order, a deep bourbon and whiskey selection, wine by the glass. And always tasty mocktails!

Part 2 -Tools and solutions
We'll come back with what we've learned. That includes ideas from the group and research on what works for other artists, writers, and makers.

"The very loveliest part was when you had finished your classes, you'd sit around and talk with all the other creative people about their day… mixing theater and dance, and art, painting — all the different areas. It was very lively."
