Professionally tutored art workshops in drawing, botanical illustration, landscape and mixed media painting, alongside workshops in pastels, textiles, printing and jewellery making.
2021 saw the expansion of our arts programme to include craft and textile workshops, along with the introduction of some new tutors . We hope you will find our programme interesting and find a workshop that appeals to you. Our aim is to provide professional quality workshops, with individual guidance and tuition. We have chosen venues that offer good facilities and have a relaxed feel to add to your experience. Please see the testimonials from previous participants, many of whom returned in 2021.
Testimonials

Janet, Rochdale

Mina, Peterborough
“As always, tutor excellent, thoroughly enjoyed the course”
Megan, Cheshire
“A thoroughly enjoyable way to join likeminded people of all ages and abilities to create your own individual masterpiece. The tutors are brilliant, willing to share their knowledge and experience, and the bikkies help the creative juices to flow. The setting at Barlow is beautiful and inspiring. It’s a great way to spend a day. The only downside is trying to limit yourself from enrolling on all the courses – they are all inviting.”

"I rarely find time to paint so this was a real 'me time' treat. Thoroughly enjoyed it, picked up some great tips and felt very inspired."
