Creative Block - Watercolour

Slow down with Creative Block: a 6-week watercolour journey exploring favourite places, foods, and landscapes. No experience needed! Creative Block: Watercolour (Pieces of Us) Block out some time for yourself and come and create. Creative Block is a six-week series designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your creativity, try new techniques, and create a beautiful collection of works — one session at a time. Under this term’s overarching theme, Pieces of Us, we are focusing entirely on watercolour techniques to explore the things we love — from favourite places to delicious foods and the things that bring us joy. Over six weeks, you'll dive into building your watercolour skills layer by layer. You don’t need experience, you don’t need skills, you just need to want to create! We’ll look at layer building for beautiful landscapes, mastering a quick-sketch and document style perfect for a travel journal, and playing with styles that are fun and full of energy. You'll learn all about the nature of watercolours, the frustrations to avoid, and tips and tricks to lean into the creating style that suits you. There are soo many possibilities! You'll leave with a small collection of works that are entirely your own — made through your eyes, your hand, your process. No prior experience needed. No pressure to be perfect. Just two hours of focused, guided making in good company.
