Summer Painting Workshop exploring the beauty of ‘The Weleda Field’ with pattern designer, Emma Britton is now available to book. Use bold drawing and paint with a live gouache palette to create unique designs from observation.
Normally closed to the public, this is a rare opportunity to be inspired by the magic of Weleda’s biodynamic gardens in Derbyshire.
Good to know! This isn’t botanical illustration but about looking for the beauty in nature and discovering how to capture and convey what you see. As a result, you’ll produce some dynamic, exciting designs. Illustrations will be evocative of their potential to use as a pattern for wallpaper, textiles and more.
Open to all abilities, if you came last time we will build on your skills. This workshop is back by popular demand!
