Hello friends, I wanted to let you know about this lovely, cosy, and (best of all) free online creative retreat I’ll be teaching at in July called Paper People. 

It is a gentle creative online retreat for people who want to slow down, reconnect with creative activities, and bring small acts of paper-based creativity into their everyday life

For three days, from 3rd – 5th July, Michaela from Blue Stiggy is bringing you a series of short workshops, presented by experienced tutors. We’ll be dipping our toes into writing, drawing, sketching, mark-making, calligraphy, poetry and journaling

The aim is to help you to explore creative activities in small slivers of time that you can easily fit into your life.

Dates: Friday July 3rd – Sunday July 5th 2026

In my 25-minute session, Small Acts of Boldness: Mini Landscapes, we’ll be making these bold colourful landscapes using whatever quick drying colourful supplies you like. I’ll be using Paint Sticks
