A Creative Day Out
Many of our visitors travel from Chichester, Midhurst, Petworth, Arundel and the surrounding West Sussex area to spend a day immersed in creativity. Set on our working farm, our workshops take place in a beautiful 18th-century Long Barn and The Stables, offering an inspiring setting far removed from the distractions of everyday life.

The journey is rewarded by a day of creative exploration, expert tuition and the opportunity to meet like-minded people, all surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the South Downs.

Explore a Wide Range of Creative Techniques
Our workshop programme covers a diverse range of art, craft and design disciplines. You can learn traditional drawing and painting techniques, experiment with mixed media and collage, or discover the exciting possibilities of printmaking through lino cutting, gel plate printing, intaglio printing, block printing and transfer printing.
​
For those who enjoy working with textiles, we offer workshops in batik and felt making, while sculptural makers can explore wire work, wire and foil construction, and small animal sculptures. Many visitors enjoy trying a completely new process, while others return regularly to develop their skills further.

Learn New Skills with Expert Tutors
All workshops are led by experienced artists, designers and makers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. Our tutors provide clear demonstrations, practical guidance and plenty of individual support, helping you develop confidence regardless of your previous experience.

The emphasis is always on enjoying the process, learning new techniques and creating work that reflects your own interests and style.

More Than Just an Art Workshop
For many people, a workshop at Blooming Designs becomes much more than simply learning a new skill. It's an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with creativity and spend a rewarding day focused on making something with your hands.
You'll leave not only with artwork to take home, but also with new ideas, renewed confidence and the inspiration to continue creating long after the workshop has finished.
