We’ll take a mindful walk up to the woods, taking in the sights and scents of the summer season. Once in the woods, Surrey Art School founder Ellie Green will guide you through how to capture Summer Wildflowers using soothing watercolour techniques.

Take a walk on the wild side, as we introduce you to the hidden delights of nature’s spring larder. When done carefully and sustainably, foraging is a great way of connecting with our natural environment and making the most of the ingredients on our doorstep. You can’t get more local than your nearest hedgerow!

Join us for a taste of traditional turkish marbling with a modern twist as we explore surface and form in this fun beginners workshop. You’ll start by learning how to create marbled prints on paper before designing your own pattern to adorn a fresh and contemporary concrete pot! A great mothers day gift idea!

By the end of the workshop you’ll have produced multiple prints on paper as well as a marbled pot - with a little plant included - all for you to take home with you at the end of the day!

This season we are inviting you to meet with Ebru for a calming and mindful introduction to the magical art of painting on water. Ebru - also known as cloud-painting for the way that the paint clouds as it spreads across the water - is an ancient art-form originating in Turkey and dating back to as early as the 15th Century. Of course we’ll be adding a contemporary twist to the outcomes we produce, but the rest of the experience will be as authentic as it gets folks!
