Hellooooo! My name is Denise (not actually Alice) and I have been running workshops on a variety of themes for most of my adult life, from mixed media to creative writing! As my "pre-retirement" project I have started making workbooks based on some of the workshops for people to use at home at their own pace, rather than a specific course programme. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for looking! Please
