Based in the lovely Didsbury Parsonage, we will hopefully also be able to spend some time outside, weather permitting. After a warm up with oil pastels we will enjoy noticing and being with the beautiful colours of Summer, and have time to reflect on how we resonate with this season.
No artistic experience needed at all! Materials will be provided.
This workshop is the second in a series: ‘In awe of Nature – Art for the Soul’. Each workshop will use a different medium to explore form and theme related to the season: Spring- watercolour pencils – shape – new growth and hope; Summer – pastels – colour – expansion; autumn – clay – 3D form – harvest; winter – pencil/charcoal – line – structure.
Tickets are £15 including all materials and light refreshments. Concessions £8 – please email for concessions: steffie.elhassan@hotmail.co.uk
