As the reality of lockdown hit in March 2020 , we all missed our studio community, and wanted to keep ourselves inspired and together. Initially, one of our writers offered creative writing classes via zoom. Thee idea blossomed to include a pool of over 60 people attending our virtual workshops. Covering drawing, culinary skills, skincare and of course ceramics. We were fortunately had a wonderfully talented satellite community around us, who volunteered to take workshops. Itamar from Honey & Co showed us how to to debone a chicken and in return enjoyed our daily creative writing classes with Margie Orford. We explored the culinary flavour of Babylon with Linda Dangoor, made strawberry jam with Alvaro Picardo, and watched Yael Simon bake her Babka. We drew ourselves with Amy Gadney and carved Kurinuki with Abigail Schama. From LA to New York, from Portugal to Putney a diverse gang gathered on screen to create a fabulous feeling of community.
