Leave the week behind and ease into Friday night with Watercolour wind-down. This relaxed, playful workshop explores watercolour techniques alongside loose, abstract mark-making—perfect for anyone wanting to experiment without worrying about creating a “perfect” painting.

You'll play with washes, texture, layering, movement and expressive marks, discovering how watercolour can be spontaneous, fluid and wonderfully unpredictable. There’s no pressure to produce a finished masterpiece—just an opportunity to slow down, have fun and see where the paint takes you.

The workshop is led by the wonderfully fun Melody Suranyi, whose relaxed and encouraging approach makes this a great class for all.

Come along, bring a friend, share a glass of wine and put the week on pause, make some art and wind down with watercolour.
