Coffee and Colour Workshop with Hannah
Description
Join local watercolour artist Hannah for a fun and relaxing Sunday afternoon watercolour painting workshop.
Pull up a chair, order a coffee and let Hannah guide you through creating your very own watercolour work of art. In this two hour workshop you'll get hands-on support in creating your own artwork and learn a bit about watercolour techniques as you go.
This workshop is for anyone looking for a relaxed, fun and creative Sunday afternoon - anyone is welcome!
Not only will you leave with your own artwork, but you'll have the chance to socialise and make new friends in a relaxed setting.
