FREE ART WORKSHOP WITH HONEY FROM THE MOON

6/6/2017

I've been lucky enough to attend 2 of the free art workshops that Fitsum Berhe and Honey from the Moon are hosting. Its the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning, sipping on Ethiopian coffee, making new friends and getting tips from the master himself Fitsum! I've always loved drawing but never seem to take time out to do it at home, so this has been such a joy.

Don't worry you haven't missed it, there's on more workshop happening this Saturday (10th June).
Scroll down for more details!
