On our weekend workshops, the day starts at 10am through to 5pm with an hour lunch in between, to get to know each other and throw around ideas. The courses themselves are ideal for beginners, improvers and advanced artists alike.
Of course, vegetarians are catered for at lunch time and where accommodation is required we can provide a full list of B&B’s locally. Private parking is also adjacent to the studio.
All materials required for the courses below are provided at the studio but of course, do feel free to bring along your own. We also have some materials available for sale on request.
