It’s happening! We are so excited to be collaborating with Bristol artist @hollyfoskettbarnes for a 🪻Bluebell Watercolour Workshop🎨 Celebrate spring by locking your phone away and enjoying 45 minutes of bliss - reading, sketching, knitting - before getting to know likeminded strangers during a 90 minute instructor-led workshop at the delightful @unit8_studios Is there a better way to disconnect from the screen and connect with others?
