Paint a wooden box with patterns inspired by nature and the beautiful free work of British artists such as Eric Ravilious, Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell.

Artists such as the “Bloomsbury Group” did not confine their art to canvas – they painted their homes, their furniture, they designed ceramics, fabrics, rugs and book covers. We will look at ways that artists use nature and pattern.

You will be given a specially prepared wooden box to paint with designs of your choice, in hardwearing water-based paints. 

No experience necessary and all materials and refreshments will be provided. But please bring an apron!

About the Artists/Workshop Leader:

The session will be run by Sarah Wetherall, a local artist who has many years of experience running art workshops, activities and events for a range of diverse groups of all ages. She worked at Dulwich Picture Gallery for over 10 years – during her time there she developed a particular interest in the link between creativity, health and well-being. This lies at the heart of all her classes.
