Christmas Watercolour Workshop

Join a friendly, one-day watercolour workshop, perfectly timed in the run-up to Christmas.

Beginners will build confidence with the basics, while more experienced painters can refine their skills and develop their own style. With step-by-step support in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a wonderful way to unwind, get creative and make something special ahead of the festive season.
