Unlock your inner artistic abilities with our immersive and comprehensive workshops, thoughtfully divided into three enriching segments. Each segment is expertly designed to lead you on a journey of creating your own unique pigments, mastering the art of mixing paints with your preferred medium, and ultimately applying your paint onto canvas.
Our workshops are not just simple lessons - they are a woven tapestry of engaging demonstrations and hands-on experiences. Every session delves deeply into the rich history of art, sharing fascinating stories and valuable insights from the trials and triumphs of artists throughout time.
Beyond just teaching techniques, our workshops strive to revolutionize your perspective on using and creating paint. They offer an opportunity to redefine your artistic process, opening new avenues for self-expression in your work. Come join us in our world - it's time to see paint in a whole new light!
Each workshop takes place in the Colour Makers House, rebuilt over 350 years ago. The workshops are held in the pigment room with its stunning mullioned windows, beamed ceiling, and Victorian range that feels like an alchemist's den.
