Lisa will help you explore your creative side using Nature as a focal point. Using our beautiful countryside and music as inspiration, you will be given the chance to explore many art mediums such as leaf-print clay work, dream-catcher making using willow, cyanotype photo processes, using nature as tools and papier-mache modelling. You do not need any previous experience using these processes as these will be gentle, inclusive sessions for all abilities, using simple and easy to follow techniques and for those more confident in their ability to create, the opportunity to explore new ideas in more depth, should you wish.
