My last workshop of the year is a silly safari through humorous techniques. Feels like we all need a bit of levity after the year we've had. We'll look at daffynitions, spoonerisms, comic triples and much more.

Tues 2nd Dec 7pm GMT

OR Sat 6th Dec 9am GMT

Oooh, I love this reflective pause! My fave is this quiet piece because I want to believe that even in this darker world we're now in, there's still hope for something beautiful to emerge.

Thanks for this pause moment! ✨💖
