Bagel Class

@ per person I love making bagels; they are great bread to bake with friends and family! You will learn all the processes of bagel making and will have the opportunity to bake your favourite type. Plain, onion, poppy, sesame, cinnamon & raisin. Once baked, we will fill it with classic fillings to try fresh out of the oven. Once you’ve baked your bagels, you’ll never want to buy shop-bought bagels again. Kitty Witch Bakehouse View Organiser Website Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live

'Meadow Alchemy' 3½ Hour Painting Workshop

Arts & CultureWorkshops & Classes

Around £60

'Meadow Alchemy' 3½ Hour Painting Workshop

An immersive and inspiring workshop where you’ll learn the expressive techniques I use in my own painting practice. Process-led: paint rolling, dripping & spattering with sculpted impasto flowers ‘Meadow Alchemy’ explores a process-led approach to creating a contemporary wildflower landscape using acrylics on board. We’ll start by setting the scene and applying a soft gradient background. From there, we’ll add movement and energy with loose layers of wild grasses and stems, using different techniques such as paint rolling, dripping, and playful paint spattering. In just 3½ hours, you’ll learn the techniques and materials I use in my own work to create a richly textured landscape painting of your own. Working with acrylics on board, you’ll be guided step by step to create your own piece to take home and be proud of, with the understanding and confidence to keep refining it further if you wish. Your painting will be created on a 25cm x 25cm 3mm MDF board; a beautifully responsive and durable surface that works perfectly with layered acrylic techniques and is ideal for framing, which many participants choose to do after the session. Run from the comfort of my Studio in Ditchling, in a supportive and nurturing environment with an intimate group of up to six people, allowing one to one tuition. Suitable for all artistic abilities, even if you’re a complete novice, the methods we’ll be using are easy to learn and apply. The cost is £60 per person, including quality artists’...
