Enjoy a beautiful delicious grazing platter made by The Pavillion (come hungry!) Wine, beer, coffee and tea can be purchased as desired.
We will have an intimate group with a maximum of 10 participants.
Note: This workshop is about how to make paint, not how to paint, so although we will have plenty of free painting time, Katie will not be instructing painting techniques. You can apply your own knowledge or just have fun playing.
Workshop tickets are non-refundable. In the event that you cannot attend on the day we are happy to transfer your booking to a friend or family member. Thank you for your understanding!
