A Creative Resolution

January 1, 2017
Share

The new year promises to be a time when many of us make well-intentioned resolutions to mark a fresh start. Unfortunately, most of us inevitably fail to keep these resolutions, often because we opted for something rather punishing, like a restrictive diet or early morning exercise. But resolutions don’t have to be an uphill battle – why not make 2017 your most creative year yet, and aim to learn something new? We have put together a list of exciting upcoming workshops to inspire you, but make sure you keep an eye on our calendar throughout the year for new events and classes.
