Artisan Taster Day, Sunday November 9th, 10 - 4pm

How would you like to spend the day dabbling in a new activity such as watercolour, jewellery making, upholstery? Under the guidance of talented professionals, with no pressure, now you can.

If you are not sure that a full day  at one activity is the right thing for you, then an immersive, creative and mindful day with us is the answer. With a maximum of 12 participants, split into two smaller groups, each group will spend half a day with each artist.
Other taster days dabbling in other skills much as creating natural dyes for wool, will be available in due course. 

This day will unfold as follows:

Arrival:
Thornton Le Beans village hall for 10am, and coffee.
Morning session with Julia  - a local and hugely talented artist.
Enjoy a relaxing, mindful and calm 2 hours, learning how to paint with gouache, a thick water-based paint, under the guidance and expert lead of Julia. All materials are included. 
Elevenses with cake will be provided during the morning. 

Lunch:
A short walk in the village to my country kitchen for an exquisite feast - the details of which are still to be confirmed. It will be fresh, local and a party on your taste buds! Wash it down with a drink of your choice. For a group booking, prosecco can be added for a small additional charge. 

Afternoon: 
The perfect balance to the morning - experiment with relief clay printing. Jenny, a locally based artisan creates exquisite plaques made from flowers gathered from her Dales garden.
Everything you need will be provided.

At the end of the day, you will have had an abundance of inspiration, support and creativity, and will have experienced a real feel and flavour for using both gouache and clay.
