In-person learning

Learn to create autumnal artwork using Derwent Inktense, tissue papers, and pressed autumn leaves. Based on mixed-media collage pages from my nature journals, this crafty, arty day is split into two parts. Come for just the morning, just the afternoon or the entire day! Morning: Inktense and tissue paper autumnal landscapes. Afternoon: Using pressed leaves in autumnal artwork. Beginner friendly, all materials included – bring some of your own pressed autumn leaves to use if you like. Bring a packed lunch or there is time to buy from the deli opposite or in town.

A special art workshop day to help you design a Christmas card or festive-themed painting. You can either bring along your own project idea or choose from three provided mini-projects for the day (robins in Derwent Inktense with gold leaf, Xmas foliage collage with leaf pressings, or Xmas foliage layering in coloured pencil). All materials, tea or coffee and festive biscuits, and individual support will be provided. Bring your own packed lunch or purchase from Finn’s deli next door or the shop in town.
