Join published author and artist, Pippa Pixley, for an exciting introduction to paintmaking using plants, petals, and pigments. This one-day workshop is held at the beautiful Dove Valley Studio Barn in the heart of the Peak District National Park nestled in stunning countryside.

You will learn recipes and techniques for creating watercolours and inks from the garden, country lanes, wild hedgerows, and the kitchen. We will create sample paints as we explore the bounteous variety of amazing colours available from flowers and foliage.

This is a beautifully meditative and relaxing workshop as we immerse ourselves in nature, surrounded by intense colours and delicate fragrances.
