Festive Watercolour Wreath Workshop at Rudyard Lake

Discover the pleasure of painting with watercolour and create your own festive wreath in this relaxed, artist-led workshop with award-winning Staffordshire watercolour artist Joan Kennedy.

Whether you’re completely new to watercolour or have painted before, I’ll guide you through the techniques needed to create a beautiful seasonal wreath, exploring colour, brushwork and the delicate details that bring your painting to life.

This is a lovely opportunity to step away from the everyday, enjoy a creative morning and learn something new in a friendly, welcoming setting. You don’t need any previous experience, just a willingness to have a go.

Looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift? This workshop makes a lovely experience to give to someone who enjoys art, or a chance to treat yourself to a creative morning by the beautiful Rudyard Lake.
