What a truly inspiring way to spend a day. The lovely teacher Susan was so kind, helpful and informative. Everyone produced the most gorgeous hand block printed cushion to take home which is a deeply satisfying thing to achieve. Magda made us a really delicious vegan lunch, and there were some amazing homemade cakes and good coffee or tea were served morning and afternoon. I would really recommend doing any of Magda’s workshops, It’s such a lovely place to create and be creative in .
