Watercolour Workshops - Jan to May 2024

We are holding a series of Watercolour Workshops in the new Art Room at St. Bede's Pastoral Centre, 21 Blossom Street, York. January - May 2024.

These workshops are suitable for beginners, or those with a little experience. Everyone is welcome including children over 12 (accompanied by a paying adult). 

We aim to have fun whilst we learn in these sessions. No drawing skills are necessary, and we will go through everything step by step. Classes will consist of a maximum of 12 people, so everyone will get plenty of feedback and guidance. 

All materials will be provided. In each session, we begin by getting to know the materials you will be using. Ideal if you want to buy your own materials for practice at home.

Your host will be me... Andrew Brown. You can find more details about me if you click here
