Welcome to CRASP – a Creative Relational Space

CRASP began in 2024 as a pilot at the University of Edinburgh, where for four months it offered students a playful, creative haven. The response was so positive that we’re back - this time with a permanent home at The Shore, as part of Reconnect Scotland.

Our mission is simple: to create a welcoming community where anyone can escape the daily grind, find inspiration, and connect through creativity. From painting and crafts to playful exploration, CRASP is a space where stress takes a back seat and imagination takes centre stage.

Join us in this new chapter - a creative sanctuary open to all.

What you said about us

  • "Had the best time! Will be back soon, as this was just what I needed to take a break from long days at the library working on my dissertation. Really needed this to feel part of something, independent work is exhausting!"

  • "Thank you for putting this together. It was such a wonderful space to create and to play, and to do this in the presence of others while finding a corner for myself. It was very relaxing to create together and to have a good variety of materials to work with. I left feeling very nourished!"

  • "The activities offered are great, it is easy to just come and learn something new. The team is friendly and helpful! I really wish it would be available all year long, as it could easily become a safe heaven for students to relax. I hope it will happen again, with new activities and the same warmth. It was a pleasure to come and I will definitely come again! "

  • “ I have honestly loved your project and cannot stress to you enough how much it helped me the last few weeks as I was submitting my diss. I was not in line with my cohort and it was stressful and isolating to be doing such a big project so independently, but being in that space was so lovely. Thanks so much and best of luck with whatever comes next for Crasp, fingers crossed it leads to a space like this that I’d definitely continue to attend.”

  • "Enjoyed this so much!!! It was so relaxing and nurturing "
