Summer Social - Sunday 16th July

Join us at Capel Village Memorial Hall for one of our Seasonal Socials designed to align with each turn of the wheel of the year.

We'll sip tea and listen to gentle music as we sit and make together.

Join us this summer for a chance to paint dragonflies and demoiselles dancing over the water using beginner-kind watercolour techniques and some beautiful, iridescent paints that will make your paintings sparkle in the sun. A slow and soothing summer-inspired workshop that includes delicious food and bottomless cups of coffee and tea for you to sip and nibble on whilst time ebbs away.

All materials, freshly brewed tea and coffee and a wildly inspired picnic lunch are included in this seasonal workshop.

In this second summer-inspired workshop we'll be sketching en plein air in the gardens, working with soft pencil techniques and a range of mark-making to create soft tonal studies of summer blooms. Later in the afternoon we’ll switch it up to soft pastels - bringing colour and life to our studies. We'll create a series of soft studies of our surroundings, capturing the gentle mood of summer on paper.
