Such a beautiful idea! Please PLEASE say you’ll continue doing this beyond May? It is killing me that this is happening in the primary exam/gig period!
Hi Meryl, We’re pleased to be able to let you know that Swallows and Amazons is starting up again this Autumn, so we’d love to see you there! The salons will relaunch on 14 September with a Circus and Carnival themed event. I’m equally loving your full figure life drawing classes. Fantastic!
Not mine, Re Dress NYC’s! But they’re amazing and so are you, and I will try to publicise you both as much as possible. I’m hoping to come to this next one, yay!
