Join us for a fun and experimental Mixed Media and Stitch workshop. During the day you will engage in playful experimentation, discovering innovative ways to capture the essence of trees, flowers, and organic forms using mixed media techniques and free machine embroidery.

This workshop is all about creativity and exploration — no experience required, just a willingness to experiment and try something new! You will get to play with an inspiring variety of techniques including ink and bleach, wax resist, drawing techniques, unusual painting techniques and free machine embroidery. With expert guidance, you will learn how to combine media in exciting ways, layering textures and colours to bring your artwork to life.

By the end of the day you will have a mounted mixed media piece, a floral or tree inspired piece that will look lovely in a frame, either for your own home or as a gift for someone else.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee, but please bring your own sewing machine if you have one.

A day to delve into the world of making medieval artwork. Using historic pigments, you will make your own paints using traditional ingredients to recreate the medieval palette of colours in shells.

Then the tutor will introduce you to the wonderful, weird world of manuscript marginalia, the illustrations around text. Some decorations are foliate, floral or geometric and some feature bizarre beasts, killer rabbits, sinister snails and strange hybrid characters.

With your new paints, you will paint a manuscript-style image, perhaps an animal from a bestiary, musicians, aspects of medieval life or something from your imagination. For those not used to drawing, it could be a simple decorated capital letter. The tutor will guide you through
all the processes of drawing and painting and provide many visual images.

You will go home with a new understanding of the whole process, from making the paints to using them, as well as a medieval image of your own.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced artists looking to try something a bit different.

Most materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Join us for a day of botanical drawing using a fun and accessible format - the zine! We will make a simple eight page zine -  a folded paper structure that allows us to think about composition and storytelling as well as what we are drawing, and can really help us get over the fear of the big blank page.

We will do warm up sketches & experiment with drawing in ink, graphite and coloured pencil to create a natural history illustration zine. We will learn about the golden spiral and Fibonacci's sequence (briefly) and look at pattern, texture, and colour-matching in watercolour. We can
finish off our piece using lettering or alphabet stamps to add text on our zine if desired.

This workshop includes traditional skills such as drawing and painting but also book art, composition, natural history illustration and fun! It is suitable for complete beginners as well as those looking to have a playful artistic day.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Come and join us for a fun workshop creating 3D illustrated cards.

You can choose between making a layered card like a tunnel book construction or if you would prefer you could use the tutor's greenhouse template and your imagination, to create a building or story of your choice. You could make a winter greenhouse or shed/fish shack, or a tent.

Use the workshop to extend your knowledge of materials and improve your drawing. We will be using a range of materials - watercolours, dip pens, fine liners, pencils, coloured pencils and ink.

By the end of the session you will have a unique 3D card of your own to give to someone, perhaps for Christmas or for a special occasion.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those who just want to try something new.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.

Spend a day with us delving into the ever-popular Chinese brush painting.

Chinese birds painting can vary in styles hugely. There is the intricate method of Gongbi painting known as meticulous style, the quick strokes of Shuimo meaning water and ink, or Sheng - yi, translating as life and meaning.

The Sumi Japanese style captures the essence of the subject. The emphasis is placed on varying shade of grey to black and simple composition. Today's course will take both approaches, Chinese Shuimo and Japanese Sumi.

We will start with simple birds in several positions on branches, using black and white Sumi style followed by Shuimo. Our aim is to complete many compositions to choose from for the final design.

Chinese Xuan paper pre-prepared on board complete with hanging hooks will be the medium of choice.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have been on Chinese Brush Painting courses before.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
