What’s the Difference Between Classes and Workshops?

CLASSES
Our weekly watercolour classes are designed for artists who want to commit to regular learning and consistent practice. Held during school terms, classes allow you to explore techniques and concepts in depth, from colour theory and mixing to washes, layering, and brushwork. Students bring their own materials, making it a hands-on, long-term learning experience with ongoing guidance and community support.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are a fun, focused introduction to watercolour. Perfect for complete beginners or experienced artists looking to try something new, these 2–3 hour sessions are tailored to specific topics. All materials are supplied, so you can experiment without needing to invest in your own supplies. Choose what inspires you and enjoy a relaxed, creative session.
