Spend the day creating a floral painting using acrylics and self-painted collage. Claire will guide you through her process, providing collage materials, some photographic reference and any appropriate foraged flowers, or do bring your own.  A professional artist for forty years, Claire exhibits and licenses her work widely.

This is an informal, fun workshop involving painting, gluing, spattering, scratching, cutting and tearing. Bring an apron, roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. There are very few rules to follow – one being that only acrylic paint can be used.

Suitable for all abilities, but be prepared to get messy!

No advanced drawing skills are necessary.
