New workshop - Watercolour Pencil & Stitch
There's a brand new, and so very therapeutic workshop that's new to the studio. It includes a gorgeous kit of a watercolour pencil set, a printed panel which is ready to get colouring, a set of pure silk threads, needles, written instructions and everything you need to create a unique project.
