SALE : 15% OFF ALL ART BOOKS 🧑‍🎨📚

From fashion, to film, to fine art - we've got tons of books that will help you explore the practices, and stories of some of the world's greatest creative minds.

We believe in the value of what we offer here at Creó, but we also know how hard it can be to continuously invest in your own creative journey. With that in mind, we're almost always running a sale on one thing or another here in our mercantile. One month it's plants to fill your space with life, another it might be craft kits, art, apothecary items, or discounts on workshops.

It's less about giving you a "deal" for us and more about hoping these sales will foster accessibility, and give you a reason to go in a different direction every time you come through our door.

Sound Salon : Where Houston Listens

Connection through sound can come in many forms. From creating it together, to picking up on a beloved tune humming distantly through the speakers at a coffee shop - we hear and experience it in so many ways throughout the landscape of our conscious world.. but how often are we exclusively listening?

Like all forms of art and connection, we are always looking for new ways to build community within experience. With that intention in mind, we're excited to finally launch our listening session series, Sound Salon.

For this opening evening, Hasaan Olu will perform an experimental jazz fusion set in the courtyard.

Todays Zine workshop was so dreamy ☁️🤩☁️

Seeing people turn once blank pages into expressions of their inner worlds was truly mesmerizing. Listening to everyone share / interpret their dreams, and explain the ways they chose to represent them in their zines felt as collectively connective as it did cathartic. Expression comes in so many forms - and using old magazines, glue sticks, and folded pieces of paper is definitely one of the funniest ways to do it!

Huge thanks to the wonderful folks from for sharing their time, skills, and incredible collaborative energy with our community. Give their page a follow to check out the other workshops they host around town and, of course, reach out to them if you're a zine'ster so you can join them for Zinefest 2026 this fall at The Orange Show.

NEW WORKSHOP : Songwriting with Ben Jarrad 🎶

If you're a true blue fan of the Houston music scene, you've definitely seen Ben Jarrad on stage somewhere (maybe even lots of somewheres.) We're stoked to announce that Ben will be hosting a two-part songwriting workshop in March that's geared to support eager musicians of all skill levels.

Got unfinished voice memos, random notebook lines, or Grammy worthy shower-thought choruses you don't know where to take next? Ben knows how that goes - and has plenty of advice on ways you can take them from spark to song.

Part One ☝️
Exploring the fundamentals of creative process, lyric craft, melody, and structure—learning how to capture ideas and turn them into something real.

Part Two ✌️
Diving deeper into refinement, arrangement, and sharing your work, with practical feedback and tools you can use long after the class ends.

Whether you’re brand new to songwriting or looking to sharpen your voice, this class offers inspiration, technique, and a supportive space to write bravely and honestly.

SONGWRITING WORKSHOP
🗓️ March 21st & 28th
⏰ 4-6pm
📍 Creó / 748 E. 12th St.

No experience needed.
No pressure to perform.

Just a laid-back, supportive space to try stuff out, get inspired, and maybe leave with a brand new song.

New Workshop : Paper Making with Johnathan Paul Jackson 📃✨

Do you have a craving to write, draw, craft, or sculpt with new materials and textures that feel uniquely yours? Would it be even better if you could create those materials with everyday "scraps", or odds and ends from other projects that you otherwise might've just tossed away?

If that sounds inspiring to you then you'll definitely want to sign up for our Paper Making workshop with Jonathan Paul Jackson!

In this hands-on workshop he will share his unique paper making techniques - oriented around using simple materials like a kitchen blender, recycled paper scraps, dryer lint, and water. Techniques he's spent years honing in to masterfully create everything from sheets as delicate as standard paper, to sculptural forms up to four inches thick.

Paper Making Workshop
🗓️ March 8th
⏰11am - 12pm
📍748 E. 12th St. // Houston, Heights

This is just one of the many art forms Jonathan Paul Jackson is known for. If you've spent any time wandering around Houston hot-spots over the years it's highly likely you've seen his art woven into the cultural landscape of our city... including right here in our shop!

Click the link in our bio to sign up for this workshop, or swing by Creó to check out his work in person and get one of his incredible pieces for your own collection. ~>

Long before Valentine’s Day became about cards and candy, St. Valentine was remembered as a figure who honored love and connection againts all odds. Most people don't know this, but he performed marriages in secret when they were forbidden by law during war times in Rome (or at least one story says so.. there's apparently 3 saints named Valentine!)

Much like the Saint(s) this holiday gets its name from, we are all learning new things about love all the time. The Valentine legacy grew from these fabled beginnings into a day to celebrate care, devotion, and the bonds between all people.

At Creó, we believe love isn’t just romantic — it’s friendship, family, community, and self-love too. 💛 This week we’re celebrating all kinds of love with thoughtful gifts, meaningful objects, and small gestures of care with some extra sweet offerings. 😘😘😘

Stop by and share the love with us — we’re handing out free carnations and roses all day as a simple reminder that everyone deserves a little beauty and appreciation.

Love is for everyone. 🌹

New Workshop : Essential Oil Blending 🌿🪔✨

Essential oils serve a purpose far beyond the sensory "aesthetic." Combined intentionally they become tools for grounding, presence, and everyday ritual. To dive into this practice we're teaming up with Catalina of .earth for a hands-on class that’s part wellness, part sensory playground.

Rather than choosing with your mind, you’ll lean in to your body’s wisdom as it responds to each scent. Learning how to work with them in a way that’s thoughtful, practical, and deeply personal.

Through this direct, embodied experience, you’ll discover which oils are calling to you, and blend them into a unique aromatic companion designed to support your intentions and journey through the year.

Kids are always growing - both outside, and within!

And just like us adults their little lives are full of curiosity, complications, opportunity, and new meaning everyday.

While there's nothing wrong with bedtime stories about far away kingdoms, learning to count, and sweet simple tales of bears and their dilemmas with honey pots - books are also a great way to help kids connect the dots and learn more about the nuances of the world they live in.

Thoughtful tales can open big conversations, spark imagination, and foster real growth in those curious little minds. From shaking off the inhibitions of self-expression, to navigating complex feelings around having to share space on the playground - we've got a crate full of books here in our library that's a literary treasure chest for growing minds.
