Excited to see @herefordshirewildlifetrust send a copy of The Riverside Code out to all their members, along with their latest magazine! We’re so proud to have created this guide, illustrated by @jessicarisingstudio, and hope it empowers thousands more river guardians along the River Wye.

To celebrate that friendship, and to share a little of what we each love to make, we've put together a special giveaway for one lucky winner.

The prize includes:

👕 A hand-printed t-shirt from illustrator Frances Whitfield
@pan.makes

☕ A handmade mug from potter Christina Serra Delmar of Red Wheel Studios @redwheelstudios

Each piece has been made with care, and we're so happy to be able to share them with you.

Good luck! ✨

That’s a wrap on our Revealing Our Roots Film Project! ⚔️

We’ve been working with @herefordmuseums at @ledburycommunityhub to bring together young filmmakers aged 11-15 to explore the story of the #HerefordshireHoard, a remarkable Anglo Saxon and Viking treasure buried in 878 AD and hidden underground for more than 1000 years.

The five part film depicts a reimagining of the Hoard’s experience - from burial to rediscovery.

The films were entirely created and developed by the young people of #Ledbury.

Swipe 👉 to see our BTS from over the last few months and keep your eyes on our page as the films are released all this week!

Learn more about the project on our website 📣

We welcome new and old meditators, and anyone who's looking to befriend themselves.
