This session is very informal and relaxed. It’s taught by veteran watercolour artist Karen Buckels who has spent a lifetime of teaching art. “If yours isn’t at the same standard as mine then it’s my fault and NOT YOURS and i’ve never had a failure yet!” ~ Karen Buckels. This session will start at 1pm. Please note that if you wish to use our Tearoom after the workshop you must book via our website as we cannot guarantee availability.
