Numbers show there's a very small percentage of women leading the creative industry. We believe we can change that through mentorship and championing others' work. Initially, we loved the idea of relaxed salon nights to collaborate, meet and share with other creative ladies. So we reached out to Jessica Walsh to bring Ladies, Wine & Design to the Toon.

Every month, we host an event with a different theme. It could be a general chit-chat or a portfolio review. More often than not, we have an amazing guest who agrees to impart their knowledge. Our meet-ups happen in High Bridge Works on High Bridge Street in Newcastle city centre. We also hold workshops and activities and host occasional parties and nights out.
