Workshops
We’re so excited to invite you to our monthly 'Meet & Make' socials at Hay Distillery—a unique opportunity to create something beautiful in a supportive relaxed setting, whilst meeting new people. Each month we’ll have a different theme and creative activity.
Foster creativity and connect.
Expert guidance in a relaxed setting.
Perfect for beginners and seasoned creators alike, no creative ability necessary!
It can be so hard to meet new people as an adult or even maintain existing friendships when life gets in the way. Carve out some time for yourself. Join a vibrant community, make something beautiful and have some fun. Bring a friend or come solo, grab a drink and get making.
🗓 Date & Time: Friday 24th April | 6pm – 7:30pm (arrival from 5:30pm)
💷 Price: £20
📍 Location: Hay Distillery (upstairs), Brook St, Hay-on-Wye, HR3 5BT
Spaces are limited, so nab your spot and come hang out, we can't wait to meet you!
Working directly from seasonal Summer flowers, Karen Green, botanical artist, will guide you through observational drawing, pen work and watercolour techniques to create a finished illustration that reflects a botanical understanding of your subject and captures the beauty of the plant.
Karen will ease you into the workshop with some playful drawing exercises. Leading on from this, through a little bit of flower botany exploration, she will guide and support you to create a detailed observational drawing, using pen work to show shadow through the ‘stippling’ technique. With one to one support and class demonstrations, you will experiment with watercolour techniques and accurate colour mixing to paint your chosen flower.
During the session you will familiarise yourself with the materials and tools needed for botanical art and the techniques used, slowly building up layers of paint to create luminosity and depth.
🗓 Date & Time: Thursday 2nd July | 10:30am-1:30pm
💷 Price: £45
📍 Location: Oil & Oak, Workshop Room, HR3 5DF
