Our Workshops
Here is our range of art workshops, from painting portraits in oils and exploring printmaking techniques to working with textiles, collage and wire. Each workshop offers a chance to try something different, learn from an experienced artist and spend time immersed in the process of making.
Drawing and Painting
Explore the art of looking closely, capturing character and bringing ideas to life on paper or canvas. From the subtleties of a still life to the challenge of painting a portrait in oils, these workshops invite you to experiment with line, light, colour and form, developing your own way of seeing and expressing what you observe.
Printmaking
Discover the surprises and possibilities of printmaking, where images are built through layers, textures, patterns and impressions. From carving lino and working with traditional printing blocks to experimenting with gel plates, transfers and intaglio, each technique produces its own distinctive results. Explore the process, play with possibilities and see how a single idea can take on a life of its own through print.
Textile and Fibre Art
Explore the possibilities of working with fibres, fabrics, colour and texture. From the tactile process of felting to the expressive patterns and resist techniques of batik, these workshops bring together traditional skills and creative experimentation. Discover how simple materials can be transformed through touch, pattern and process into something rich with character.
Mixed Media and Sculpture
Bring different materials together, experiment with unexpected combinations and discover new ways to express an idea. From building layers and textures through collage to bending and shaping wire into three-dimensional forms, these workshops invite you to think beyond the conventional, explore the character of your materials and create something with its own personality.
