Join tutor Holly Foskett-Barnes to expand your creativity and nourish your wellbeing this Spring.
In this workshop, we'll enjoy learning a range of watercolour painting techniques alongside mindful activities throughout the creative process. Holly will ease your creativity with a guided relaxation, playful warm up exercises, and gentle guidance. Studies will be inspired by sunshine daffodils coming into bloom and you’ll learn step-by-step ways of how to observe, draw and paint them.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
