Creative Women’s Network at the Distillery London

My dear friends Maggy from Red Ted Art and Vicki from Honest Mum held their second Creative Women’s Network event in London.

Bringing together a group of women into a creative space eager to find a supportive environment within which to be inspired and to network. This Creative Women’s Network hosted by Honest Mum and Red Ted Art, was a very informal event, hosted in one of London’s loveliest and relaxed venues with inspirational speakers and skills sharing.

This event was hosted at The Distillery in Notting Hill – With a gin distillery in the cellar, two bars, a restaurant, boardroom and a micro boutique hotel this pretty Portobello Road venue, in the heart of Notting Hill is a gin-lovers paradise!

 

The panel included: Host, Maggy (RedTedArt) and Vicki (Honest Mum) plus:
