I was nervous to attend as things like this are out of my comfort zone. From the moment I arrived I felt very welcome and included. Everyone was lovely and the art demo was clear and fun to follow.

I am not the best of artists, but I just enjoyed the mindfulness of the process. I found the process of "noticing" engaging

I don't push myself to practice drawing by myself, so I appreciate the friendly environment to do so in.
I had a lovely time and drawing nature made me appreciate it more.

It was fun to do something creative and chat and be with other people. I wasn't sure at first but was made so welcome. The idea was simple - which was its strength.
