We’re looking forward to Mindful Monday with The Woodyard UK.
Clare Colby will be there with the Hands on Books Project, bringing creativity, imagination, and plenty of inspiration as participants create more fantastic book-themed creations together.
Whether you’re a regular attendee or thinking of coming along for the first time, you’ll find a warm welcome, friendly faces, and an opportunity to enjoy some creative time in good company.
We hope to see you there 💫
