Enjoy getting creative in Naburn, York, with this expressive watercolour seascape workshop - all materials provided.

The event will be held at Tea By The Lock, where you will be able to buy refreshments from the wonderful tea room.

The workshop is run by a talented local artist who has exhibited her artwork internationally and in the UK.

For complete beginners or people who believe themselves not to be creative or arty, this is a great chance to try something new, and people often surprise themselves by what they can create in just a couple of hours.

For the more experienced, this might be a chance to try a new medium, or new techniques.

I will explain the materials, which will include watercolour and salt, provide demonstrations, and you will be then free to create your own artwork, and although I will be on hand to help if needed and give hints and tricks, you will be welcome to unleash your own creativity and 'play', finding your own style if you wish or trying your own colour mixes.

I will bring images for inspiration, although if you would like to bring your own picture to inspire you, you would be welcome to do so.

All materials will be provided, although if you prefer to bring any of your own, you would be welcome.

If you are worried about getting messy, you may wish to bring an apron and gloves, and it is worth remembering your glasses if you wear them. It is also worth bringing something to carry your artwork away, whether you are arriving by car, on foot or by bus, especially if it is not dry yet or it is raining - something like a sturdy envelope or plastic wallet.

Tea By The Lock is a wonderful venue, and the location itself offers a relaxed atmosphere, is dog-friendly, has a plant-based menu, and is close to both a bus stop and the lock carpark. It is past the caravan park, down the track through the gate, and to the right, by the Lock.

This workshop is aimed at adults, so any under sixteen's are at the discretion and responsibility of an accomanying adult.
