Little Watercolour Landscapes

A relaxing and rewarding way to explore the essentials of watercolour paints, suitable for complete beginners.

The workshop will start with demonstrations and learning the basics of colour mixing and brush control. Very quickly, you will start to create a series of small imaginary landscapes. Each may consist of only a few carefully executed brush strokes, allowing the paint to do the work for you.

You will be shown how to use these little landscapes to frame or as cards.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced artists who want to play with watercolours for the day.

All materials and tools provided, however if you have your own watercolour paints and brushes and would like to use them please bring them along.

Mixed Media Land and Seascapes

Discover the joy of playful experimentation in this hands-on workshop. You’ll create your own landscape-inspired mixed media image using intuitive painting techniques such as inks and bleach, watercolours, and wax resist.

Once your painting begins to take shape, you’ll explore free machine embroidery — using stitch as a mark-making tool to enhance and transform your artwork.

There will be plenty of options for those who wish to take the theme further: experimenting with carbon paper for drawing, or incorporating stencils, for example. Mixed media is wonderfully creative — there are no rules, just curiosity and a willingness to have a go.

No prior experience is necessary. Delny, an experienced teacher, will guide you through the process and respond to individual ideas and needs.

A light lunch, refreshments and most materials are included, however please bring along your own sewing machine if you can. We have a couple of machines to borrow if needed, but please let us know in advance.

Textured Silver Necklace

Join us for a hands-on jewellery workshop where you’ll design and craft your very own stunning textured sterling silver necklace from scratch.

During this creative and relaxed session, you’ll learn how to use professional tools like a disc cutter to create different sized circles from sterling silver sheet. You’ll then explore a range of hammering techniques to add beautiful textures—giving each piece its own distinctive character and style. Finally, you’ll assemble your design into a finished, ready-to-wear necklace you can be proud of.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some silversmithing experience, this workshop is designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and fun. You’ll be guided step-by-step, so you can enjoy the process and leave with a piece that’s uniquely yours. The small group setting means you will have plenty of guidance.

Spaces are limited, so book now to secure your place and enjoy a day of creativity, craftsmanship, and making something truly special.

Creative Paste Papers

These beautiful and unusual decorative papers, popular from the 17th century, are used for book-binding, covering boxes and collage. Making them is fast, fun and free, whether you are an experienced artist or new to the arts.

Wheat paste is mixed with pigments and swiftly brushed onto wet paper; then the creativity begins: wooden scrapers, tools, found objects, grouters, combs and fingers can all be deployed to make a riot of swirls and graphic patterns, or neat geometric or floral designs.

When your papers have dried we will use them to make a simple single or double concertina note/sketchbook. No sewing involved, just folding and glueing. Your papers can be used for both covering and endpapers or you can make a booklet show-casing your different patterns.

This workshop is suitable for all experience levels.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included in the workshop fee.
