MAKE TOGETHER
Creative dates
Trying something together gives you something to talk about straight away.
Make the most of it.

- Get your materials ready or check what's included in a workshop.
- Choose a task you can finish within the agreed time.
- Make room for a different approach to each other's ideas.
