Botanical Drawing & Painting

Go with the flow they say – and what better way to do so than to learn how to loosen up your drawing technique and slow down your approach to watercolour painting with a super gentle botanical drawing and painting workshop?

Our next ART TALKS is on Friday 2nd August, when we'll meet artist Susannah Bolton who will be talking about landscape and homesickness, and about using textile process as a way to explore and embody those feelings.

Start your weaving journey with the wonderful Susannah Bolton this season where she will be teaching you all you need to know to get to know your loom.

You'll be working with stunning hand-made notched lap looms and will learn all about the anatomy of the loom before planning a small tapestry and starting to weave.

Are you drawn to the moon? Tune into your inner goddess this summer with our Luna Macrame workshop and create a beautiful wall hanging that as a beautiful reminder of that lunar magic! Macrame is a relaxing and therapeutic craft that keeps your hands busy and gives your mind time to rest. The process is meditative and the results a stunning reminder of that little moment of time you allowed yourself to slow down.

This season we welcome back to the studio the amazing Sarah Pimenta (Social Fabric) for a screen-printing workshop that embraces the beauty, colour and patterns of nature in our gorgeous Surrey Hills! Expect a burst of warmth, colour and pattern to brighten up the darker days.

Lets get analog. In an increasingly digital age of screens and fast-communication this workshop will keep your young artists tethered to the present moment for just a few hours as they are challenged to use their hands and minds to weave a small textile artwork from scratch. They can throw in a bit of heart too if they’re in the mood…Practical, tactile, fun and thoroughly enjoyable.

Following on from her sell-out family screen-printing workshops last year, we warmly welcome Sarah Pimenta aka Social Fabric is back in the studio this Easter break bringing with her a theme of ‘conscious creativity’ as she asks our young artists and their families (optional) to find their voice - either through text and image - and to use screen-printed t-shirts and bags to send a message to the world!

Get ready to get experi-mental this Spring with our fun creative textiles based taster workshop led by our number one guy, artist and printmaking expert Paul Wye! This play day workshop is suitable for absolute beginners and you'll explore a range of fun techniques that take textiles and print into another dimension!
