Pasta for Two at Pitzi

Celebrate Love in Cyanotype at Kickstart this Valentine’s Day
Swap roses for rich blue hues this Valentine’s Day at Kickstart Arts. Artist Ange Anderson is hosting a 2.5-hour cyanotype workshop where you’ll create two striking sun-developed prints using flowers, keepsakes or anything sentimental you bring along. One gets framed, ready to gift or keep. It’s hands-on, sun-soaked and beautifully nostalgic — BYO bubbles encouraged. Love, rendered in indigo.
Saturday 14th February, 1pm to 4pm
Kickstart Arts, Building 1831 South/12 St Johns Avenue, New Town
Date with a Mate at LUSH

You’ll even whip up your own Rosy Cheeks face mask to take home. Sweet, self-care and strictly platonic.
