It seems as though I won't be able to run any face to face art workshops for a long time...I have been mostly self employed for the last 6 years and so my instant reaction was to dive straight in and reinvent Daff Workshops as an online facility, providing tutorials and courses overnight! I'm sure a lot of you who are in similar situations feel the same way, desparate to keep calm and carry on despite a pandemic!

However, over the last few days, as everything has started to sink in and become more real I've come to the conclusion that the most important thing to do is slow down...If I jump straight in to something new and exhaust myself then I'll have no energy left to do the kinds of workshops that I love doing when this is all over!

So perhaps the next few months is a time for continuing to share my art with you all ( @daffillustration ), do all of the things in the house and garden that I haven't had time to do, make good food, bake bread, practice my yoga, journalling, studying, keep in contact with friends and family, volunteer, watch films, walk the dog, hug the chickens...plenty to be getting on with I think.

I feel incredibly grateful to have a partner, family and friends that can support me during this time.

I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying the sunshine.

A great way to finish a busy year of creative workshops across Hampshire! These ladies spent a morning at @kookies_crafts in Woolston learning the basics techniques of watercolour painting and modern calligraphy. We listened to Christmas songs, drank lots of tea and ate biscuits...what a great way to start the weekend!
I’ll be posting details of 2020 workshops soon 💕
