Festival Workshops

Charlie Rowen

Charlie is a good friend of Soulful Skate Co. and the most creative person! I’ve seen her bring to life incredible griptape designs you wouldn’t dream of; she completely understands the Soulful Skate Co. mission, and it was a no-brainer to ask her to run a workshop.

Transform your board with custom griptape art! Whether you're starting from scratch or swapping out your old grip, Charlie will guide you through bold, one-of-a-kind designs. Grip included.

Christopher Hill

I am a freelance illustrator based in Bristol, I work digitally and traditionally. Most of my digital work is for printed media and web content. Whereas I use paint and pens on canvas and for customising objects including skateboards. I am able to create illustrations for promotional material, branding, editorial and narrative art.

Bring your board—or grab a blank deck—and design your own skate graphic using Posca pens, paints and creative flair. No sanding, just prime and let your imagination go wild.

Chris Briggs

I started working as a masseur in 1987. I have worked in Formula 1 across the globe and toured with great bands like Faithless, Feeder and The Spice Girls.
Mostly, my job is shifting pain and anxiety. I do the massage through your clothes while you are seated on a massage chair. I also provide workshops, panel and keynote speaking at events and exhibitions, video courses and now retreats.

​​

A chance to unwind and reset—Chris offers 20-minute seated massages (fully clothed) designed to relieve tension and reduce anxiety. Expect Formula 1-level expertise with festival-friendly calm.
