13 OCTOBER 2024: ISLE OF MAN WATERCOLOUR BRUSH LETTERING

Come along to the beautiful surroundings of the Flower Studio in Port Erin for a relaxing workshop of playing with watercolours to creating beautiful lettering..

Emma will guide you through the basics of brush lettering with a paintbrush and watercolours.

Watercolour is a wonderful mindfulness activity and playing with paint, we think, is a perfect way to connect back to your inner child and let any stresses melt away - if only for a couple of hours.

You’ll receive worksheets to be able to further practice the brush lettering aspect of the class at home afterwards.

There will be FRESH HOMEMADE COOKIES and tea/coffee available.
