Saturday 8th of August, Paper Tales, Sparks

The lovely Paper Tales are hosting Will’s next natural ink sessions, their shop is a real must-see for anybody in the city interested in great reads from local authors and sustainable bookish/writing related gifts! It’s a gem of a space, run with great care and thought for the Bristol indie arts scene!

Will is running two separate sessions on the day so whether it’s something you’ve been dying to learn all about and get fully immersed with, or just a nice activity to stumble into and have a go… there’s options for all! Ink wizardry school is open to all, everybody is welcome!

Tickets are available via: papertalesshop.com/natural-ink-workshop (link in our bio) book you space early to avoid missing out!

We are so thrilled to be returning to Braziers park for this weekend!
Plenty of arty goodness to be had over the weekend with foraged ink, printing, woodcrafts and more!

This year’s theme is lizards so come along and tell us your best lizard fact, we want our brains to be full of lizard knowledge come Monday morning 𓆈𓆈𓆈

Here’s Adam’s favourite to get you warmed up: Slow worms are actually legless lizards, not a worm at all.
To help identify this unlikely lizard from a snake he’s written you all a little rhyme…
If you find a slithery creature underneath a stone
Invite them in for dinner, with a warm and friendly tone
If you’ve found yourself a slow worm, they’ll be sure to blink and blush
Unlike snakes they have eyelids, and hearts of gooey stuff
