Customer Review

“We were looking for something different to do as a group of friends so booked a Christmas-themed pointed pen party. We had a lovely afternoon with Natasha, it was so relaxed and fun, and everyone had an amazing time - even those of us who are not ‘arty’. I would highly recommend a calligraphy workshop ” - Jenny W
