We had the most wonderful time celebrating this year's amazing Edinburgh Climate Festival volunteers 🌞 We started the day off with this fun Riso & Gocco printing workshop at Out of the Blueprint, where we learned more about sustainable printing, made our own zine, stickers and even upcycled some t-shirts to take home 🌻 We then finished off the day with cosy drinks and some social time in the sun! Huge thank you to everyone involved, our lovely workshop facilitators and of course to all our volunteers 🧡
