Discover the quiet magic and expressive possibilities of watercolour in this welcoming workshop series designed for anyone wanting to explore painting in a relaxed and inspiring environment. Across the sessions, you will experiment with a variety of watercolour techniques, styles, and approaches, learning how colour, movement, layering, and transparency can bring artwork to life.
Each workshop offers a different creative experience, through guided exploration, you’ll learn how to observe more closely, loosen your approach, and develop your own artistic style and visual language.
These workshops are about more than technique—they are an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with creativity, and enjoy the mindful process of painting. Whether you are building confidence, returning to art after time away, or looking to deepen an existing practice, the sessions provide space to experiment, reflect, and grow.
You can attend individual sessions or come for the whole 4 days to gradually build a rich and evolving creative practice.
We will have 40 minute lunch break – please bring lunch with you to enjoy in the studio. Alternatively you can take a walk down the High Street where there are a couple of cafes to choose from if you’re old enough to go on your own.

We believe creativity should be accessible to everyone. If you feel your child would benefit from one of our workshops but financial circumstances make this difficult, please get in touch with us in confidence. Through our Pay It Forward scheme, we may be able to offer supported places, and we would hate for anyone to miss out on the benefits of creativity due to cost. Equally, if you are in a position to contribute towards our Pay It Forward scheme and help another child access our workshops, we would love to hear from you.
