Primavera – Workshops



Tickets available here

Past - 22nd June - Motif, Soul & Emotion

Inspiration; in-breath; the movement and call of the soul will be the main theme for this session. Looking at different approaches we’ll focus on what it is that wants to be communicated; rather than how. More info on the workshop & book here



Past - 8th June  - Space; Colour & Depth

We’ll look at how traditional perspective doesn’t always work; and how that can shift the way we see space and relate to the world. We’ll  also look at colours; their meaning and their chromatic value; using raw pigments to create watercolour or acrylic paint for your piece.

Past - 15th June - Drawing, Form & Expression

Using drawing as the backbone of your piece; we’ll use it as a guide to explore forms; shapes and harmony. Drawing as an abstract map; expression of our inner understanding of the world.

Parents’ Meet up & Support Group



Why a meet up and a support group?  As parents we are doing one of the hardest jobs, and every one of us deserves as much support as we can get! I’ve decided to start this group to create opportunities for parents from all walks of life to meet, connect and build their support network. Share your experiences and tips and become a part of a growing community.
