Welcome to Sassy Red, a place to reconnect and create
Sassy Red creates meaningful creative experiences for people, centred on nourishment, creativity and connection. Through hands-on programmes and shared spaces, participants are supported to slow down, reconnect with themselves and build confidence in everyday living.
