Newcastle friends! Who’s free on Monday? I’ve decided to hold a FREE terracotta pot painting workshop. So if you love a chat & being creative, I invite you to come along to my beautiful studio in Hunter Street and paint some pots with me.
The bonus is that we are partnering with Soul Hub (my favourite Newcastle charity) who will be giving the pots away to their volunteers for Mother’s Day. If, however, you paint one that you’d like to keep, you can pay $10 & take it home with you.

I know it’s school holidays, so feel free to bring your kids/grandies with you😊 You can just come for an hour or so anytime between 9am & 3pm if you like, or come the whole day!

So I know how many to expect, could you please register on my website @ https://www.bellabottega.com.au/workshops

Thank you, Lin x
