The first session was won for 0.4ETH by Warder. The character chosen by Warder to visit The Atelier was Sage Atlas of the Steppe (4784) and led to the work; 'On the move'.

The Atelier has a gift tradition that means all guests leave and receive a gift. Sage Atlas of the Steppe received 'Antique Craftmanship'.
