A series of hands-on workshops inspired by the natural world where we will journey through a range of creative processes including drawing, printmaking, sculpture and painting.
We’ll take inspiration from our surroundings, creating in harmony with the plants inside and outside at the Palm House. Each session will have a different focus as we build our creative skills and explore colour, pattern, shape, texture and materials. Places are limited and pre-booking is essential. All materials provided. Each session explores a different skill and we will create a collaborative artwork throughout them together which will be displayed at the Palm House.
1-3pm
Suitable for adults and young people age 12+
These sessions are generously funded by the Ulrike Michal Foundation for the Arts.
Workshop information

We will explore different techniques each session which will layer in and connect from week to week. We will share and display our creations through an evolving installation at the Palm House. All materials are supplied. If you have a sketch book you’d like to work in, feel free to bring it along.
