The run up to Christmas is always hectic for some reason, and it hasn’t been an exception here. We have tried to calm our heads and stayed focused with all sorts of relaxing events like life drawing, gong baths, sound healing and amazing supper clubs. Going in to the new year we are looking at running a regular life drawing class at Benk + Bo with @sarahcliff_ and we would love to know if this is something that could go down well with you? What day of the week and what time would you be most likely to join in on life-drawing? Is there any type of life drawing class you are missing in London? Hit us up, we’ve got the space and the host, the rest is up to you 👩🏼‍🎨✌️

It’s Thursday so we thought we’d treat you with a picture of our in house cutie pie and events manager, Olivia 🖕🏼😘

Sometimes time flies so quickly that we can’t even soak up all the incredible events and people we get to meet and experience during a week. Since we opened almost a whole year ago we’ve hoarded the most incredible collection of new friends, partners and creatives and this years Christmas Market was the best wrap of 2018 we could’ve dreamt of. We feel humble and proud to have the opportunity and privilege to showcase such an impressive roster of independent makers in a space that has been slowly built in to what it has become the last 11 months. Thank you so so so much to all the makers who wanted to take part and all the people who made time to come down to experience this festive day with us. You rock our world 🍒

MEMBERS MONDAY with Hayley Titheradge @hayley_titheradge @worldography_images //
Social Media Manager & Photographer - What are you currently working on? Currently I’m working on an exciting small business with a jewellery maker help to grow her e-commerce business online, she’s great to work with and it’s also a great project for me to learn more from an entrepreneurial perspective. - Whats your go-to item in the cafe? The mushrooms, the best mushrooms I’ve ever had by far! - Favourite part of Benk + Bo? The best thing about Benk + Bo is that there’s a space to cater to everyone. If I’m looking to get my head down and work on a campaign I tend to go downstairs where it’s more quiet, but if otherwise I love the music so you’ll usually find me on the sofa getting creative. - What are the biggest challenges of being a freelancer in your industry? The community is a challenge to find in such a big city, being a freelancer can be isolating at times and having somewhere like Benk+Bo can make all the difference. Especially with the workshops and events! - If you could pick any client and project to work on, what would it be? I love working on projects like the one I’m currently working on, helping small businesses, makers and sellers to get online and maximise growth on social media, so I’d love to work on more of that. #benkandbomembersmonday

TOMORROW it’s finally time for the makers market! @sarahcliff_ is hosting a life drawing class, make sure to prebook your seat at www.benkandbo.com/makersmarket where you will also find all the other information you need and details about all the independent makers and brands who will be selling giftable items.

In case you haven’t noticed all the plants that have recently moved in to Benk + Bo: @alysonmowat has placed a whole range of beautiful kokedamas, air-plants and aquatic plants in our lounge and cafe. They are all for sale and they will make you really happy, kind of like when you managed to keep your tamagotchi alive for 11 years 🐣🌲🤹🏻‍♀️

Last weekend @grainandknot and @barnthespoon turned Benk + Bo in to a carving fest @carve.london in partnership with @morakniv. One of the most magical events we have hosted here. So special seeing a whole bunch of makers, who would usually be alone in their studios, creating and carving and getting inspiration and advice from each other through the weekend. Thank you so much Sophie and Barn for choosing us as a venue for your very first @carve.london 🌲🖤

Dreaming of long days in bed with creamy porridge and filter coffee! Let the count down to Christmas break begin ☁️☕️🥣
