Quirky Workshops revisited

The latest workshop at Quirky Workshops in Greystoke.

The latest workshop at Quirky Workshops included two sessions of artists exploring the nature around this wonderful location. the venue itself is inspiring enough and coupled with Annie’s warm welcome and homemade biscuits made for an enjoyable day for everyone taking part - including myself!

I provide a small kit of materials for each session, comprising of two finalisers, a blank journal and a how to create a journal guide. I also provide the watercolour sets and brushes. One of the great things, though, is the “no pencil rule”. So we draw straight onto our nature journals. For some this is a bit scary - but only for a while. Soon you forget that you are not using a pencil and you basically just get on with things and create a lovely record of nature observations.
