So delighted to open our window exhibition Tickled Pink, showing the work of the most excellent Mandy Flood. Exuberant and whimsical the work is a range of marvelous experimentation alongside some knock out wearable jewellery. Come by Richmond Rd and see for yourself.

Come and spend this Valentine`s Day with us at Workshop6, we`ll have pre-loved tools, brand new W6 T shirts and merch, stones, and jewellery for sale, plus coffee from Supreme.
