Workshop at The Sheep Shed Gallery...

This workshop with Maureen Bond aims to break through the myth that Watercolour is a difficult medium to handle, whilst working in a way that is meditative, mindful and relaxing!

You will begin with the basics - taking just three colours and learning how to build a palette of beautiful, harmonising colours and shades. You will then go on to cover the aspect of ‘Hard’ and ‘Soft’ edges, discovering the differences that arise when you paint on wet or dry paper.

This workshop is perfect for complete beginners, those who find watercolours difficult to us and anyone who believes they can’t paint or draw!

Maureen will kindly provide you with all the materials you need for this workshop. Ticket Prices: £40.00 per person

A practical and fun course, ideal for people looking to start their own up-cycling painted furniture projects or gain confidence in the use of chalk paint.

Come and be part of a community art project and help to make plastic tree sculptures which will be on show at locations in the Andover area during the summer.

We'll be up cycling used plastic bottles to create colourful sculptures which will be added to the tree sculptures. We are now in a time where we are all being encouraged to use less plastic where ever possible, and it is as important to recycle the plastic we have already used, so as part as Test Valley 2020 we are inviting anyone who's environmentally conscious and enjoys art plus meeting new people to be a part of this fun creative project.

Drop in paint a bottle or two

At West Hampshire School of Art we truly believe that anyone can draw, and all art is valid. There is no right or wrong way to produce art, only enjoyment to be found in the process and an improved sense of well-being. Engaging in creative activity is proven to help reduce stress, improve self-esteem, problem-solving and creativity, benefiting not only the individual but their wider community. We strongly believe in the mental health benefits of creating art. You may not have tried drawing before so come and have a go or improve your skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Ticket Prices: £5.00 to cover the cost of materials provided
